• Servings: 2
• 8 large egg whites
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 2 teaspoons canola oil
• 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese

Recipe

• 1 **recommend using 1 whole egg and 1/2 cup store-bought egg whites, to avoid wasting yolks.
• 2 whisk the egg whites, egg yolk, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
• 3 heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
• 4 add half of the eggs and stir gently until they just begin to set, 5-10 seconds.
• 5 gently pull the cooked eggs back from one edge of the skillet and tilt the pan, allowing any uncooked egg to run to the cleared edge of the skillet.
• 6 repeat this process until the egg on top is mostly set but still moist, 1-2 minutes.
• 7 remove the pan from the heat, sprinkle with half of the parmesan cheese, and let it melt partially, about 10 seconds.
• 8 carefully slide half of the omelet onto a plate and , with a firm grip, tilt the skillet slightly to that the remaining half of the omelet folds over the filling in a half-moon shape and serve.
• 9 wipe out the skillet with paper towels and repeat with the remaining oil, egg mixture, and parmesan.
