Egg white omelette with spring greens
The delicate flavours of dill, wild garlic and fresh chives against the sharp Montgomery cheddar and Cravero parmigiano reggiano make this fluffy egg white omelette a tasty and protein-fuelled start to the day. It's also a great way to use left-over egg whites.
Ingredients
- 9 egg whites
- 30g butter
- 5 sprigs dill, finely chopped
- 2 leaves wild garlic, finely chopped
- 8 stalks fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1.5-inch knob Montgomery cheddar, lightly crumbled
- 1.5-inch knob Cravero Parmigiano Reggiano
- Fresh nutmeg
- Drizzle of high-quality olive oil
- Handful of dill fronds or pea shoots (to garnish)
- Edible flowers to garnish (optional)
Directions
- Step 1 Whisk the egg whites in a large bowl, until frothy.
- Step 2 Melt the butter on medium-low in a large frying pan. The butter should lightly coat the pan. Once the butter starts to froth (it should not burn) generously season the pan with freshly ground salt.
- Step 3 Add the egg whites and cook for 3 minutes or until the edges of the omelette are cooked and the centre is nearly set. Sprinkle over the dill, wild garlic, chives and cheddar and season with freshly ground pepper and salt.
- Step 4 Cook for a further 2-3 minutes, until the base of the omelette is golden.
- Step 5 Carefully fold over the omelette to enclose the filling and slide on to a serving dish.
- Step 6 Grate over the parmigiana reggiano and the nutmeg (do not use ground nutmeg). Cut the omelette into 4 pieces. Lightly drizzle with olive oil, garnish with dill fronds, pea shoots and edible flowers (if using). Serve immediately.
