EGG WHITE OMELET



Egg White Omelet image

This egg white omelet is an easy and healthy way to kick-start your day.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 teaspoon butter or olive oil
4 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
Chopped herbs, such as parsley, chives, and chervil (optional)
Cooked spinach, chopped (optional)
Freshly grated cheese, such as Parmesan, ricotta salata, or manchego (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat butter or oil in a small nonstick skillet over low heat. Meanwhile, whisk together egg whites and salt, incorporating a lot of air, which will ensure that the omelet is light and fluffy. Be sure not to do this in advance or the egg whites will deflate.
  • Place your hand directly above the skillet. When your palm feels warm, the skillet is ready to start cooking. Working quickly, pour whisked eggs into the heated skillet. While shaking skillet back and forth over heat, stir with a heatproof rubber spatula for less than 1 minute. You want to keep eggs moving, incorporating any runny parts and some curds begin to form.
  • Continue cooking, making sure eggs cover the entire surface of the skillet and using a spatula to push together any holes that may have formed. Top with one or more desired fillings.
  • Run the spatula along right side of omelet to loosen eggs from skillet. Place spatula under right side of eggs, making sure that the spatula is well underneath the eggs to offer maximum support, and lift right side over left in one fluid motion. Folded omelet should look like a half-moon.
  • Lightly press down on omelet with the spatula to seal omelet together. Do not press hard; you do not want to flatten the curds. Check to make sure the handle of the skillet is still facing directly out toward you.
  • Lift up skillet with one hand, and hold a plate with your other hand. Tilt skillet, and let the curved edge of the omelet slide onto the plate.

EGG WHITE OMELET WITH PARMESAN AND TARRAGON



Egg White Omelet with Parmesan and Tarragon image

I realize that most people who avoid egg yolks, eating only the whites, are looking to conserve calories and eat healthfully. I make egg white omelets for a different reason: egg whites are a blank canvas and leave room for the flavors and textures of herbs and cheese to truly shine. Be sure to use the freshest eggs you can find, because fresh egg whites are denser and cook up heartier than thin older whites. In this omelet, the egg white takes the tarragon and Parmesan and runs with them. By the way, this omelet can easily be made without the cheese and with the addition of roasted mushrooms or cherry tomatoes. I like the "lean" egg white mingling with the rich cheese.

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 large egg whites
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more for buttering the omelet (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 lemon wedge

Steps:

  • Prepare the egg whites: In a bowl, whisk the egg whites with the salt and a pinch of pepper. Whisk only enough to integrate the eggs. You don't want to whip too much air into them or make them frothy.
  • Cook the omelet: Place a 6-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Swirl the butter around as it melts so it coats the whole surface of the pan. When the butter is melted (but not browned), reduce the heat and pour in the egg whites. Use a fork to stir the eggs slightly, as if you were scrambling them. Then allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle the tarragon and cheese over the eggs, and then squeeze a little juice from the lemon wedge over the top.
  • Finish: Lift the handle of the pan up, tilting the pan away from you and toward the heat. Fold the edge of the omelet closest to you toward the center. Fold the other edge toward the center and tilt the pan over the center of a plate so it lands seam-side down. Butter the omelet, if desired. Serve immediately.

CHINESE EGG-WHITE OMELET WITH TOMATOES



Chinese Egg-White Omelet with Tomatoes image

This light omelet is cooked in a wok.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 tablespoons plus 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 large ripe red tomatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
10 large egg whites
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat a wok, without its stand, over high heat for 1 minute. Add 1/2 teaspoon oil, swirling to coat sides of wok. When hot, 1 minute, add tomatoes. Quickly stir until they soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside tomatoes and juices. Rinse wok with hot water; dry.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk egg whites with 1 teaspoon salt until foamy, about 1 minute.
  • Return wok to high heat for 1 minute and add 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, about 1 minute, scoop up some of it using a large spoon; hold this oil over wok while you pour the whites into wok; immediately pour hot oil onto whites. Cook 1 1/2 minutes. Do not stir; egg whites will puff up. Add tomatoes with their juices in a circular pattern. Continue to cook until eggs are cooked through, 1 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining salt. Slide out of wok onto a serving plate, cut into wedges, and serve.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect egg white omelet, use fresh egg whites. Fresh egg whites will whip up better and produce a lighter, fluffier omelet.
  • Make sure the pan is hot before adding the egg whites. This will help the omelet cook evenly.
  • Do not overcook the omelet. An overcooked omelet will be tough and rubbery.
  • Season the omelet with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add your favorite fillings to the omelet, such as cheese, vegetables, or meat.
  • Fold the omelet in half or thirds before serving.

Conclusion:

The egg white omelet is a healthy and delicious breakfast option that is easy to make. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious omelet that is packed with protein and nutrients. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give the egg white omelet a try.
