Egg White Ideas

Fresh herbs make them taste yummy. I like egg white omlettes with fresh thyme, basil and flat leaf parsley, a pinch of dried tumeric, salt and pepper. Can also add finely diced red capsicum (bell pepper) and shredded kale.

I like to make an egg white omelet with smoked turkey (from the deli), sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh baby spinach. Sometimes, I don't even bother with the omelet - I just stir the ingredients together with the egg whites and scramble them up together.

you can make something a bit more complicated but filling by boiling some cauliflower, draining it and breaking it up, then mix it with the egg whites, pepper, powdered garlic and salt and then making an omelette (you can add some baking powder for it tu fill up a bit)..it turns out a bit like a 'spanish omelette' of sorts

I mostly eat egg whites and I just prepare them the same way I would with the yolk included: scrambled w/tomatoes, peppers and onions, omelette w/turkey and spinach, as a frittata, in a quiche, boiled and chopped up in a tuna salad, on pumpernickel toast (I just happen to like pumpernickel).

I love mine with fresh spinach, tomatoes, cut up squash, onions...and then top it with 1/2 cup or so of my favorite salsa. It's super good!

When making oatmeal with steel cut oats or regular rolled oats, right as you are finishing them, add in as many egg whites as there are servings, and stir really well and quickly so there's no white scrambling up. Then season the oatmeal regularly (I like cinnamon, SG maple syrup, butter, but there are loads of combos). Makes the oatmeal more filling.

I don't eat the whole egg because I don't like the yolk

I hear you on that! Yuck, egg yolk.

I make an egg-white omelette every day or two. One easy thing to do is that if you have leftovers around (for me it might be curried chicken or a chilli), you can mix a bit of the sauce with the egg white and then fold the omelette over the meat.

Any kind of veggie filling is good: spinach, mushrooms, fresh tomatoes, squash, potatoes, etc. A little bit of cheese in an omelette also goes a very long way. Of course you can add whatever herbs you like to the filling, but you can also add a bit of flavor to the egg whites themselves with garlic paste, garlic-ginger paste, tabasco sauce, or anything else you happen to like

Like Marcy, I generally have a salsa or chutney around to use as a topping. I absolutely need a topping if it's a whole fried egg, because otherwise, yuck egg yolk! The yolk doesn't have the protein, that's the white, but it does have other good stuff so I'll sometimes make an omelette -- husband and I split them -- with 4 egg whites and 2 whole eggs, or some amount like that. That way it's easy to conceal that icky egg yolk taste!

Incidentally, if you can find Black Salt, my theory is that it makes everything taste better, always.

egg whites ,spinach, and salsa

Try one whole egg and two whites instead. I scramble eggs with veggies (saute or steam veggies first): broccoli and sweet onion, or spinach and mushroom. I am going to try the salsa idea! I also use cheese: low fat feta and spinach or broccoli and half a piece of American cheese. Yum.

Add nutritional yeast to them for a scrambled-whole-egg-like effect. Makes them yellow, gives them some flavor.

I dip raw fish, chicken or veggies in it before dipping said foods in breading, herbs and parmesan cheese and pan-frying or baking.

Blood cholesterol isn't affected by eating cholesterol in eggs.
