Basic Fluffy Omelets
3 fresh egg whites
Pinch of cream of tartar or flour
1 C. substitute eggs
1 tsp. butter
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Salt (optional) and fresh ground black pepper
In a small bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar or flour (if desired) until very fluffy. Add the substitute eggs, blending well. If you’re making one large omelet, melt the butter in a medium-hot large skillet with a lid. If you’re making indivdual omelets, use 4 small skillets with lids. Pour the egg mixture into the pan(s) and reduce the heat to low. Cover the eggs and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. When the edges are firm, use a rubber spatula to lift several times to make sure that the bottom isn’t getting too brown. (If it is, turn down the heat drastically.) If adding optional fillings, place inside now (calories for fillings not included in nutritional information) Fold the omlet. Sprinkle on the parsley (or other topping) and season to taste with salt and pepper.
