Preparation
Did you know that
To prepare this recipe we used pasteurized egg whites, which are easily purchased at the supermarket. In any case, the same omelette can be used with classic eggs: in this case, after having shelled them, it is important to carefully separate the yolk from the egg white.- Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them into slices.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan and quickly brown the tomato slices over high heat.
- Meanwhile, pour the egg whites into a bowl and add the spices (eg oregano), salt and pepper. Quickly beat the egg whites with a fork.
- Pour the egg whites with the spices directly into the pan with the tomatoes and maintain a high flame until a crust forms on the base. Cover the pan with the lid and continue cooking over a very low flame for 3-4 minutes.
- Those who wish can also turn the omelette over with the help of a flat lid.
- Serve the egg white omelette very hot.
