Notes
- Be sure to cook the vegetables until they are fully tender, as this will enhance their flavor and texture.
- When whisking the egg whites, be sure to use a clean, dry bowl to ensure that they achieve their maximum volume when whisked.
- Use a non-stick skillet to cook the egg white omelette, as this will help prevent it from sticking and ensure even cooking.
- To get the best texture for your egg white omelette, avoid overcooking it. Cook it just until it is set, but still slightly moist on top.
- Feel free to use other vegetables or seasonings to customize your egg white omelette to your taste. Some other great options include diced tomatoes, chopped kale, or crumbled feta cheese.
- You can also experiment with different cooking techniques, such as adding a bit of water to the skillet and covering it with a lid to steam the omelette.
- If you are not concerned about calories, use butter for a tasty omelette and add freshly grated parmesan cheese in the veggie filling before you fold the omelette, plus on top of the egg white omellete!
