Description

A light and protein-packed egg white omelet filled with flavorful smoked trout, fresh chives, and tangy red onion. Perfect for a healthy breakfast or light meal, this omelet is cooked gently in butter to achieve a tender texture and is served folded with a simple side salad.

Ingredients

Egg Whites and Cooking

  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter

Filling

  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
  • 3 oz smoked trout, crumbled (or smoked salmon)
  • 1 or 2 tablespoons sliced red onion (or shallot)

Instructions

  1. Whisk Egg Whites: Vigorously whisk the egg whites until they are homogeneous and slightly frothy. Stir in the salt and pepper evenly to season the eggs.
  2. Melt Butter: Place a medium skillet over medium-low heat and melt the unsalted butter, making sure it coats the surface evenly to prevent sticking.
  3. Cook the Egg Whites: Pour the whisked egg whites into the skillet and swirl it so the mixture spreads out evenly, covering the surface of the pan.
  4. Set the Omelet: Cover the skillet and cook over medium-low heat until the egg whites start to set, about 2-3 minutes. Gently use a spatula to push the edges toward the center and swirl the pan to let uncooked egg whites flow to the edges to cook evenly.
  5. Flip the Omelet: Once mostly set, carefully flip the omelet with a large spatula. Immediately turn off the heat to prevent overcooking.
  6. Add Filling and Fold: Place the chopped chives, smoked trout, and sliced red onion on one half of the omelet. Fold the other half over the toppings to enclose them.
  7. Serve: Transfer the omelet to a plate and serve immediately with a fresh side salad. Enjoy your healthy and delicious meal!

Notes

  • Use fresh egg whites for the best texture.
  • Smoked salmon can be substituted for smoked trout if desired.
  • Adjust red onion quantity based on taste preference.
  • Cooking on medium-low heat is crucial to prevent browning and to keep the omelet tender.
  • Serve with a light green salad or your favorite fresh veggies for balance.
