Golden Egg White Omelets With Spinach And Cheese Recipes

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.

GOLDEN EGG WHITE OMELETS WITH SPINACH AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Make pepper purée:
• Preheat broiler.
• Broil bell peppers on a broiler pan about 5 inches from heat, turning occasionally with tongs, until skins are blackened, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let stand, covered, until cool enough to handle, about 20 minutes. Peel peppers, discarding stems and seeds, and coarsely chop, then purée in a blender with 2 tablespoons water, scraping down sides of blender, until smooth.
• Prepare spinach:
• Cook onion in 1 teaspoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in spinach, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and remaining 1/4 cup water and cook, stirring, until spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a colander set over a bowl and drain off excess liquid, gently pressing on spinach.
• Make omelets:
• Whisk together pepper purée and flour in a large bowl, then whisk in egg whites and remaining teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until combined.
• Heat 1/2 teaspoon oil in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Pour 1/2 cup egg mixture into skillet and cook, lifting up cooked egg around edge occasionally to let raw egg flow underneath, until omelet is set but top is still slightly moist, about 2 minutes. Spoon one fourth of spinach over half of omelet and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon cheese. Fold remaining half of omelet over filling using a heatproof plastic spatula and transfer to a plate. Keep warm, covered with foil.
• Make 3 more omelets with remaining egg mixture, oil, spinach, and cheese in same manner.

EGG-WHITE OMELET WITH SPINACH AND COTTAGE CHEESE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together egg whites and 1 tablespoon water; season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
• In a medium nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add spinach, and season with salt and pepper; cook until wilted and tender, 1 minute. Add egg whites; cook until nearly set, using a flexible heatproof spatula to pull sides of omelet toward center as uncooked egg whites run underneath, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Dollop cottage cheese on top of omelet, sprinkle with Parmesan, and season with salt and pepper. Gently slide omelet onto a serving plate, folding it over on itself by tipping skillet slightly.

• Add the cheese, mix well and stir for 2 minutes. Then remove from skillet and set aside.
• Whisk the egg white with milk, pepper, salt and parsley flakes.
• Cook the omelet with a skillet and just when its about done spread the spinach, chives and cheese mix on half of it.
• Put the chapped tomato on top of that half and fold the omelet in half then let it sit for a minute.
• Slide omelet from skillet onto a plate and you may garnish with some fresh parsley then serve it.
