Fluffy Egg White Omelette - Healthy Recipes Blog (2024)

You'll only need a few simple ingredients to make this omelette. The exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below. Here's an overview of what you'll need:

• Egg whites: I use four large egg whites in this recipe. You can use fresh egg whites or egg whites from a carton.
• To season: Kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
• Vegetables: Chopped scallions and halved cherry tomatoes.
• Olive oil spray: For the pan.
• Parmesan cheese: I prefer to use finely grated parmesan and not coarsely shredded.

Variations

An egg white omelette is not as flavorful as one made with whole eggs, so it's a good idea to add tasty fillings.

As you can see in the ingredients list above, I like to use scallions, cherry tomatoes, and parmesan.

But you can use whatever you like, including onions, olives, mushrooms, and bell peppers. Feta cheese is also very good in this recipe instead of parmesan, and so is sharp cheddar.

Instructions

Scroll down to the recipe card for detailed instructions. Here are the basic steps for making this recipe:

Whisk the egg whites with salt, pepper, and garlic powder until frothy.

Pour the mixture into a warm, greased skillet. Scatter the tomatoes and scallions on top. Allow the edges to set, then gently and repeatedly lift the edges to allow uncooked eggs to get to the bottom, where they'll cook faster.

When the bottom of the omelet is cooked and the top is no longer runny but still wet, carefully flip it and top it with parmesan. Fold the omelet in two, slide it onto a plate, and serve.

Expert Tip

I normally season an omelet with salt and pepper, but egg whites are bland - almost flavorless - and benefit from additional spices like garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme.

How do you flip an omelet?

How do you make the omelet fluffy?

To make sure your omelet is fluffy, beat the egg whites well, and patiently cook the omelet on medium-low heat.

Can I use egg whites from a carton?

Yes, you can. But fresh egg whites will taste better and will also give you a fluffier omelet.

Serving Suggestions

This egg white omelet is wonderful all by itself! But if you want something on the side, good options include almond flour biscuits or keto cheese muffins. You can also make a sandwich using almond flour bread.

Storing Leftovers

If you have any leftovers, you can keep them in the fridge, in an airtight container, for up to three days, and reheat them in the microwave.
