Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 cup liquid egg whites around 8 ounces or 225 grams; see Note 1
  • ½ cup shredded cheese around 2 ounces or 50 grams
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh herbs *optional

Instructions

  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
  • Add 3 cloves minced garlic and sauté just until aromatic.
  • Pour 1 cup liquid egg whites into the skillet and sprinkle ½ cup shredded cheese, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and ¼ cup chopped fresh herbs over top.
  • Cover with a lid and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the bottom of the omelette is lightly browned and lifts cleanly from the pan.
  • Fold omelette in half. Transfer to a plate and serve.

Notes

  1. Egg Whites: Use carton liquid egg whites for the most convenient option, or you can crack 8 eggs and separate the whites. The measurements for this recipe are pretty forgiving. You can use anywhere from ¾ to 1 cup of egg whites—180 to 250 grams.
