Think an egg white omelette is boring? Yeah, I used to as well. But if you want to lighten up your regular omelette, you CAN get it delicious as I’ll be showing you in this **Egg White Omelette with Cherry Tomatoes & Green Onions**!

Egg whites. Ugh, so healthy and bland!

Not anymore after you’ve nailed the perfect egg white omelette recipe!

Let me tell you my relationship with egg whites. Spoiler alert: It’s been pretty rocky.

I never would have even dreamed of making an egg white omelette until I came to Canada. Like, why do such a thing? The yolk is the yummiest part! Team yolk all the way! It also has all the nutrition you’re looking for from eggs, such as Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, zinc, and iron.

Egg whites do have their strength in being a great source of protein, however, and they are low in calories without the cholesterol that’s found in the yolk. As a disclaimer, I don’t actively watch my calories, nor have I been told by a doctor to watch my cholesterol intake.

On the other hand, I’m all about trying out new foods to provide recipes that include everyone’s needs (because no one should be left out of making delicious food no matter your circumstances!), so I decided to give it a try! I’m always open to expanding my cooking skills, and by having a tutorial on How to Cook the Perfect Omelette, I don’t want anyone left out in knowing how to make an egg white omelette!

Sadly I have to say that making an egg white omelette is quite more complicated than making a whole egg omelette. It’s taken me SO LONG to figure out how to get the omelette fluffy, cook evenly, not stick to the pan, AND be tasty! Yikes!

But that’s why I’m here. I don’t want you to go through the same chaos and effort I went through to make the perfect egg white omelette. You’re going to get this right and love them! Even if you prefer whole egg omelettes, check this recipe out and see if your opinion has changed! Mine certainly has! Sometimes I’ll make myself an egg white omelette just ‘cause… why not? Something different!

I’m going to keep this recipe super simple like I do with the Classic Omelette recipe to ensure you nail the technique. We’re going to simply fill the omelette with cherry tomatoes, green onions, and cheddar cheese.

Once you’re comfortable, you can feel free to add in any other fillings of your choice. This recipe will just have a few ingredients so it’s tasty but you’re not overwhelmed with all the fillings that you can’t focus on cooking the egg whites perfectly!

Tips for Getting The Perfect Egg White Omelette

Egg whites are much different that whole eggs, simple do to the lack of yolk, which makes them much more fragile. To flip an egg white omelette, use a large spatula and flip the eggs in a quick, gentle and smooth motion.
Alternatively, once the eggs have cooked, you may place your serving plate over the omelette and then flip the pan carefully to transfer it to the plate.
Eggs should always be cooked gently, use a low to medium-low heat setting and cover the pan with a lid to speed up the cooking process.
Don’t be afraid to give the egg whites some colour. Since they are naturally more bland than whole eggs, the light browning adds some much needed flavour.
Use a variety of toppings to make each egg white omelette unique. Be sure to cook more watery ingredients such as spinach or mushrooms separately, before adding to the omelette. Egg whites also love cherry tomatoes, asparagus, onions and cheeses like cheddar and Monterey jack.

How to Make Delicious Egg White Omelette

All right, we’re done with the theory. Now’s my favourite part, the cooking! This recipe will be super simple but so delicious, so follow along!

Pour your egg whites into a bowl.

Add green onions to the bowl.

Then your sliced cherry tomatoes.

Season with salt and pepper and whisk the ingredients together.

Heat a pan on medium heat and add butter to the pan.

Spread the butter around the pan.

Add the whisked egg whites to the pan once it the butter is hot.

Cover the pan with a lid and cook.

After 3 to 3 1/2 minutes, the egg whites should have completely cooked.

Then add the shredded cheddar cheese.

Using a spatula, fold the omelette in half and transfer onto a plate. Serve hot and enjoy!
