02 - 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
03 - 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes

# Directions:
01 - In a medium bowl, whisk egg whites with salt and black pepper until foamy.

05 - Cover and allow to cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until egg whites are completely set.

# Expert Tips:
01 -
- No yolks means you can pack your plate with protein without any heaviness—it's my breezy solution for busy days.
- There's something addictive about the way sautéed veggies keep their color and a hint of snap under fluffy whites.
02 -
- If you rush the heat, the omelette gets rubbery—patience pays off every time.
- Once I tried stirring the egg whites instead of whisking, but the magic only happens with some froth, so don’t skip that step.
03 -
- A thin spatula is your best ally for folding neatly—don’t use anything too floppy.
- Adding a lid at the end helps the omelette set evenly without drying out, a trick I wish I'd learned sooner.
