Question for Mom


Sometimes a recipe calls for egg yolks, rather than whole eggs.  What can I do with the leftover egg whites? --Jordan G.

Why not make yourself an egg-white omelet?  It’s a great diet meal and an excellent source of protein.  One large egg white has just 17 calories, while one whole egg has 78 calories.  

Egg white omelets are much easier to make than whole egg omelets.  You can beat the egg white(s) if you like or just pour them into a hot frying pan containing 1 teaspoon olive oil or canola oil.  Cook the egg white(s) for about 1 minute, or until firm on the bottom.  Then flip the pancake-like whites over and cook for 20 or 30 seconds, or until the whites are firm.  Gently fold in half with a metal spatula and serve with salsa or hot sauce.
