Steps:
- Get everything ready. Warm a 20cm (measured across the top) non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them with a fork so they break up and mix, but not as completely as you would for scrambled egg. With the heat on medium-hot, drop one knob of butter into the pan. It should bubble and sizzle, but not brown. Season the eggs with the parmesan and a little salt and pepper, and pour into the pan.
- Let the eggs bubble slightly for a couple of seconds, then take a wooden fork or spatula and gently draw the mixture in from the sides of the pan a few times, so it gathers in folds in the centre. Leave for a few seconds, then stir again to lightly combine uncooked egg with cooked. Leave briefly again, and when partly cooked, stir a bit faster, stopping while there's some barely cooked egg left. With the pan flat on the heat, shake it back and forth a few times to settle the mixture. It should slide easily in the pan and look soft and moist on top. A quick burst of heat will brown the underside.
- Grip the handle underneath. Tilt the pan down away from you and let the omelette fall to the edge. Fold the side nearest to you over by a third with your fork, and keep it rolling over, so the omelette tips onto a plate - or fold it in half, if that's easier. For a neat finish, cover the omelette with a piece of kitchen paper and plump it up a bit with your fingers. Rub the other knob of butter over to glaze. Serve immediately.

EGG WHITE OMELET WITH PARMESAN AND TARRAGON
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.

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.

Steps:
- Spray a 9x5-inch glass or microwave-safe loaf pan with cooking spray; sprinkle the onion, green bell pepper, and mushrooms into the pan, and toss lightly with a fork just to mix. Season with salt and black pepper, and pour in the egg whites.
- Cook in a microwave oven on High setting for 3 minutes. Remove and stir the cooked egg white from the side of the pan into the rest of the ingredients; cook for 3 more minutes on High. If the omelet is still a little runny on top, slice it into chunks and turn them over in the loaf pan; microwave for 30 more seconds on High. Adjust salt and pepper, and serve.

PARMALET (CRISP PARMESAN OMELET)
I was attempting to achieve a crispy, inside-out Parmesan omelet--and it worked! The caramelized cheese formed a thin but protective layer and, since the eggs had never directly touched the pan, they were moist and tender. This will also work whether you use one or three eggs, depending on the texture you're going for. Using a single egg is kind of a cool trick, since the cheese layer is almost as thick, and you can really appreciate the crispness even more.

Steps:
- Crack eggs into a mixing bowl. Add 1/4 teaspoon water. Whisk together until just beaten (do not overmix).
- Drizzle olive oil into 8-inch nonstick skillet. Brush evenly over the bottom of the pan. Evenly grate cheese into the skillet approximately 1/2-inch deep (or just shy of 1 ounce).
- Place pan over medium-high heat. Cheese will slowly start to melt. When cheese starts to bubble and turn golden brown, about 4 minutes, pour eggs evenly over cheese. Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Cover and let eggs cook on low until they are set, checking after the first 30 seconds. For 2 eggs, this should take about 1 minute, total cooking time. Remove pan from heat. Carefully use a spatula to fold "parmalet" in half. Transfer to serving plate.

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.
FLUFFY EGG WHITE OMELETTE

Steps:
- Heat a nonstick 8-inch skillet over medium heat, 2-3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, vigorously whisk the egg whites with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, until frothy. Whisk in the parmesan.
- Using a spatula, fold the green onions and tomatoes into the egg whites. You can also scatter the vegetables on top of the eggs after you pour them into the skillet, as shown in the video. But I prefer the method of stirring them into the eggs before you pour them into the skillet.
- Lightly spray the skillet with olive oil spray, then pour the egg whites in and start cooking them, tilting the skillet to spread them evenly.
- As soon as the edges start to set, reduce the heat to medium-low. Gently and repeatedly lift the edges of the omelet, and tilt the skillet to allow the still-runny egg whites to slide to the bottom of the pan, where they will cook faster. The video below shows you how to do that.
- When the bottom of the omelet is cooked and the top is not runny anymore but still wet, carefully flip the omelet. I sometimes use two large spatulas for this task. Another method, shown in the video below, is to place a large heatproof plate on top of the skillet (careful - it will be hot), invert the omelet into the plate, then slide it back into the pan, cooked side up.
- After flipping the omelet, keep cooking it for just a few more seconds, then turn the heat off.
- Fold the omelet, slide it onto a plate, and serve.

Steps:
- Put the zucchini onto a double layer of paper towels. Cover with another double layer of paper towels and press out the excess moisture. Coat a small nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Add the drained zucchini, onion, and mushrooms to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and soft, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the tomatoes and Parmesan and place the mixture into a small bowl. Wipe the nonstick pan clean, coat again with cooking spray, and place over medium-high heat. When the pan is good and hot, add the 3 egg whites and turn the skillet to evenly coat the bottom. When just about set, add the vegetable mixture to one side of the omelet. Gently fold the other side over the vegetables to form a half moon. Carefully slide the omelet onto a heated plate. Serve immediately with a sprinkling of fresh black pepper and the parsley, if using.

Oh yeah, did I mention that this is really healthy and your family will never even suspect!

- Cook asparagus and prosciutto: Heat olive oil in a 20cm/8" oven-proof, non-stick pan over medium heat. Add asparagus and cook until tender. When almost done, add prosciutto and stir for 30 seconds – just enough to warm through but not crisp. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Melt butter: Add butter into the same skillet and place over low heat. The butter should melt and be bubbling gently (ie. hot, but not smoking) when the egg whites are ready to pour in. (Note 3)
