Egg White Puffy Omelette
Time: 20 mins
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup egg white powder
- 3/4 cup water (warm)
- 2 large eggs (separated)
- 2 tablespoons water (normal temperature)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese (aged)
- 1 veggie burger
Directions
- 1 To make the 6 egg whites from egg white powder, heat the water so it is warm (but not hot). Stir the powder into the water until just moistened.
- 2 Preheat and grease a large, oven-proof skillet on the stove over medium heat. Preheat the oven to 325-degrees.
- 3 Combine the egg whites (including the whites made from powder) in a large mixing bowl and beat them until frothy. Add the water and continue beating the egg whites until stiff (tips stand up straight).
- 4 In a separate bowl beat the 2 remaining egg yolks, the salt, and the white pepper. Fold the egg-yolk mixture into the egg whites until it develops a uniform color.
- 5 Spoon the egg mixture into the preheated skillet. Mound the eggs towards the edges, leaving a slight depression in the center. Cook the eggs for 6 minutes, without stirring.
- 6 Transfer the skillet into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until an inserted utensil comes out clean.
- 7 On a level surface, make a shallow cut slightly off-center in the omelette. Load your toppings (cheese and veggie burger) on the larger side of the cut. Fold the smaller side over, cut in half and serve immediately.
