Egg White Omelet With Blueberries And Creme Fraiche Recipes

EGG WHITE OMELET WITH PARMESAN AND TARRAGON

Steps:

• Prepare the egg whites: In a bowl, whisk the egg whites with the salt and a pinch of pepper. Whisk only enough to integrate the eggs. You don't want to whip too much air into them or make them frothy.
• Cook the omelet: Place a 6-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Swirl the butter around as it melts so it coats the whole surface of the pan. When the butter is melted (but not browned), reduce the heat and pour in the egg whites. Use a fork to stir the eggs slightly, as if you were scrambling them. Then allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle the tarragon and cheese over the eggs, and then squeeze a little juice from the lemon wedge over the top.
• Finish: Lift the handle of the pan up, tilting the pan away from you and toward the heat. Fold the edge of the omelet closest to you toward the center. Fold the other edge toward the center and tilt the pan over the center of a plate so it lands seam-side down. Butter the omelet, if desired. Serve immediately.

EASY EGG WHITE OMELET

Steps:

• Spray a 9x5-inch glass or microwave-safe loaf pan with cooking spray; sprinkle the onion, green bell pepper, and mushrooms into the pan, and toss lightly with a fork just to mix. Season with salt and black pepper, and pour in the egg whites.
• Cook in a microwave oven on High setting for 3 minutes. Remove and stir the cooked egg white from the side of the pan into the rest of the ingredients; cook for 3 more minutes on High. If the omelet is still a little runny on top, slice it into chunks and turn them over in the loaf pan; microwave for 30 more seconds on High. Adjust salt and pepper, and serve.

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.

BLUEBERRY OMELET

Steps:

• Mix eggs, water, salt, and pepper with fork.
• Heat butter in 8-inch omelet pan or frying pan over medium-high heat until just hot enough to sizzle a drop of water.
• Pour in egg mixture.
• Mixture should set at edges at once.
• With pancake turner, turn over, carefully push cooked portions at edges toward center so uncooked portions flow to bottom.
• Tilt pan as necessary so uncooked eggs can flow.
• Slide pan rapidly back and forth over heat to keep mixture in motion and sliding freely.
• While top is still moist and creamy-looking, fill with warm blueberries.
• With pancake turner, fold in half or roll, turning out onto plate with a quick flip of the wrist.

NORWEGIAN BLUEBERRY OMELET

Steps:

• For omelet, beat egg whites until stiff, but not dry; set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat egg yolks until thick and lemon colored. Beat in cream and salt. Fold in beaten egg whites.
• Melt butter in heavy frying pan, about 9 inches in diameter, turn in eggs. Turn heat to low, and cook very slowly until eggs are golden brown on bottom, about 10 minutes.
• Place in moderate oven, 350 degrees and bake about 10 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
• Loosen omelet from pan. Cut across center. Fold omelet and turn out onto serving platter.
• Sprinkle top with sugar mixed with lemon peel. Slip under broiler for a few seconds until sugar melts and browns slightly. Pour some of the blueberry sauce over omelet.
• Serve immediately. Pass remaining sauce.
• For Hot Blueberry Sauce: Combine in a saucepan the blueberries, water, lemon juice, salt, and dash of cinnamon. Stir together sugar and cornstarch; add to blueberry mixture. Cook over moderate heat, stirring, until sauce is thickened and smooth.

EGG WHITE OMELET ITALIANO

Steps:

• Put the zucchini onto a double layer of paper towels. Cover with another double layer of paper towels and press out the excess moisture. Coat a small nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Add the drained zucchini, onion, and mushrooms to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and soft, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the tomatoes and Parmesan and place the mixture into a small bowl. Wipe the nonstick pan clean, coat again with cooking spray, and place over medium-high heat. When the pan is good and hot, add the 3 egg whites and turn the skillet to evenly coat the bottom. When just about set, add the vegetable mixture to one side of the omelet. Gently fold the other side over the vegetables to form a half moon. Carefully slide the omelet onto a heated plate. Serve immediately with a sprinkling of fresh black pepper and the parsley, if using.

EGG WHITE OMELET WITH BLUEBERRIES AND CREME FRAICHE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites until they are foamy. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and whisk again to blend.
• Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. When the oil is warm, pour in the egg whites. As the eggs set, lift the edges with a heat proof spatula and let the uncooked egg run to the bottom of the pan. When the omelet is cooked through, top with the blueberries. Slide the omelet onto a plate, top with the creme fraiche, and garnish with dill.

HERBED EGG WHITE OMELET WITH TOMATOES

Steps:

• Position a rack on the shelf closest to the broiler, and preheat the broiler to high heat.
• Toss the tomatoes with the vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Warm a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk the egg whites in a large bowl until foamy and doubled in volume; season with salt and pepper and whisk in the parsley. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil to the skillet. Pour the whites into the skillet and swirl to cover entire skillet. Cook, without stirring, until the whites are almost set and light brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer the skillet under the broiler and cook until the omelet sets and begins to brown, about 30 seconds. Spoon half of the tomato salad onto half of the omelet and fold the omelet over the filling. Transfer omelet to a serving platter and scatter the remaining tomato salad on top. Serve with the baby greens on the side.
