Pesto Scrambled Egg Whites Recipe

This light and protein-packed dish is perfect for a healthy breakfast or quick snack. The basil pesto adds a punch of flavor, making these scrambled egg whites anything but boring.

Ingredients (Serves 2):

  • 6 large egg whites
  • 1 tbsp basil pesto (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: diced cherry tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Egg Whites:

    • In a bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt and pepper until slightly frothy.

  2. Heat the Pan:

    • Heat the olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.

  3. Cook the Eggs:

    • Pour the egg whites into the pan. Let them sit undisturbed for 20-30 seconds to start setting.

  4. Add Pesto:

    • Add the pesto to the eggs. Use a spatula to gently stir and scramble the mixture, incorporating the pesto evenly. Cook until the egg whites are just set but still soft and creamy.

  5. Optional Parmesan:

    • Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the eggs and fold gently to melt the cheese.

  6. Serve:

    • Transfer the scrambled egg whites to a plate. Garnish with your choice of toppings, such as cherry tomatoes or fresh basil.

Tips:

  • For extra creaminess, stir in a splash of unsweetened almond milk or heavy cream before cooking.
  • Pair with whole-grain toast or avocado slices for a balanced meal.
