# How To Make:

01 - Add egg whites, salt, and black pepper to a medium mixing bowl. Whisk vigorously until the mixture becomes frothy.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The fluffy texture is a not-so-secret way to start your morning feeling energized without the heaviness.
  • I realized how adaptable this was when I began using whatever produce I needed to use up in the fridge.
02 -
  • If the skillet is too hot, the egg whites toughen and brown—keep it low and slow.
  • I once forgot to oil the pan and ended up with scrambled omelette; always use a slick of oil or spray, even with nonstick.
03 -
  • Let veggies cool a little before adding egg whites to keep the omelette from weeping liquid.
  • If you want picture-perfect folds, loosen the edges with a spatula before folding to avoid tears.
