Keto Super Fluffy Omelet
Ingredients (for 2 servings):
- 5 large egg whites
- 3 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Fresh chives, chopped, for garnish
Preparation:
- Separate Eggs: Separate the egg whites and egg yolks into two separate bowls. You’ll use 3 yolks, so discard the other 2 or reserve for another use.
- Whisk Egg Yolks: Whisk the egg yolks until they become homogenous and pale in color. Set aside.
- Whisk Egg Whites: Transfer the egg whites to a large bowl and whisk until they triple in size and form medium peaks.
- Fold Yolks into Whites: Carefully fold the egg yolks into the whipped egg whites until fully incorporated.
- Cook Omelet:
- Pour the egg mixture into a medium nonstick frying pan with a lid. Cook over medium-low heat until the bottom of the omelet has set, about 5 minutes.
- Lift up each side of the omelet and drop a tablespoon of butter underneath.
- Finish Cooking: Cover the pan and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the top of the omelet has set.
- Season and Serve: Remove the lid, season the omelet with salt and pepper, and remove the pan from the heat. Fold the omelet onto a plate and sprinkle with chopped chives.
- Enjoy!
