2. 2

3. 3

   Slice and serve

   • Cut each quarter into thinner slices, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
   • Arrange the slices on a plate and serve immediately for the best crispness.

Ingredients

• 4 pcs large egg whites (from large eggs)
• 1 tsp unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp water
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley (finely chopped)
• 1 tsp fresh chives (finely chopped)
• 0.125 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
• 0.125 tsp onion powder (ensure it's salt-free)
• 0.125 tsp garlic powder (ensure it's salt-free)

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the egg white mixture

   • In a small bowl, add the 4 egg whites and 1 tbsp of water.
   • Add the black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
   • Whisk vigorously with a fork or whisk until the mixture is frothy and uniform, about 30-45 seconds.
2. 2

   Scramble the egg whites

   • Place a small non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
   • Add 1 tsp of unsalted butter and let it melt to coat the pan.
   • Pour the whisked egg whites into the skillet.
   • Let them cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, until the edges begin to set.
   • Using a rubber spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, creating soft curds.
3. 3

   Finish and serve

   • Continue to gently push and fold the eggs until they are mostly set but still slightly moist. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
   • Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and chives.
   • Immediately transfer to a plate to prevent overcooking.
