Elevate Your Omelet Game with a Simple Twist

Tired of bland and watery egg white omelets? We’ve got a solution that will take your breakfast to the next level. By incorporating a small amount of grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese into the egg whites, you’ll not only add flavor but also reduce cholesterol.

The Power of Parmesan

Two tablespoons of grated Parmesan may contain the same amount of fat as a whole egg, but it’s a much healthier alternative. Plus, it’s packed with nutrients and adds a rich, savory flavor to your omelet.

Plan Ahead for a Guilty Pleasure

When you’re feeling tempted to stray from your healthy eating habits, use the leftover yolks to create an indulgent dessert or a “faux-healthy” salad. It’s all about balance, right?

Get Ready to Cook

To make this recipe, you’ll need an 8-inch nonstick frying pan. That’s it! Simple, yet effective.

Easy Omelet Recipe

Yield: 1 omelet
Difficulty: Easy
Total Time: 15 minutes
Active Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 large egg whites
• 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese
• 2 teaspoons whole milk
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Let’s Cook!

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites, cheese, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set a serving plate aside.

Next, melt the butter in the nonstick frying pan over medium heat until foaming. Add the egg mixture and stir constantly with a rubber spatula, moving the eggs around the pan until they form small curds, about 2-3 minutes.

Gently shake the pan and use the spatula to spread the egg mixture evenly across the pan. Allow the egg whites to cook undisturbed until they set, about 1 minute.

Remove the pan from heat and use the spatula to fold a third of the omelet over and onto itself. Gently push the folded side of the omelet toward the edge of the pan. Tilt the pan over the serving plate and roll the omelet onto the plate, seam side down. Serve immediately and enjoy!
