How do you guys prepare your egg whites in the morning?

danman77220 · 05-11-2007, 02:35 AM

I love eggs for breakfast and would like the additional protein but I'm always rushed for time. How long does it take you guys to make them and how do you do it?

When I eat eggs, wow it's been awhile.
I use egg whites, some tuna/packaged salmon or white crab, salsa, veggies and a small amount of fat free cheese. Actually tastes better than it sounds

I should add I do not bother seperating, I buy the easy to use preseperated boxed egg whites.

I cook 5-6 eggs with one yolk or whatever falls in as I separate the whites. That is the most time consuming part. I just place the whites in a lightly buttered tfal pan and scramble in the yolk as it cooks.

It takes about 5 minutes.

6 eggs 2 with the yolks, scramble, then cover with Franks red hot...

Sometimes I will cut up a leftover baked potato into small chunks and add that in for some carbs.. I don't use franks when I do this.. the potato adds a lot of flavor..

Why does hot sauce make everything taste better? I ate a can of Tuna tonight, dashed a ton of hot sauce on it and it actually wasnt' bad.

Some good hot peppers mixed in also gives it a bite, plus can help with your metabolism. If you're a fat ass like me every little bit helps.

I don't know why, but it does, I put it on everything.... I believe it definatly aids in digestion too.

I usually have 6 eggs with 2 or 3 yolks depending how I feel.

My method for separating the yolk from the white is to crack the egg on the side of a mixing jug and juggle the yolk between the two halfs until all of the white has fallen in. Then I mix it with a fork to break up the yolks and nuke it in the microwave. (I find it's best to check it every 30 seconds to make sure it's not drying out.)

I usually have it with some wholewheat or ezekial toast and a cup of black coffee or glass of skim milk.

hot sauce and peppers make evrything taste better because it hits both the sweet and sour taste buds. I love my dried habenero flakes.

**DJSTARER** · 05-20-2007, 08:45 PM

western omlettes are the shit. I like to do it with home shredded sweetpotato on the side.

That does sounds good, ima try that the next time I have sweet potatoes..

**NYCmitch25** · 05-20-2007, 10:12 PM

today: 4-6 egg white ommelette with bacon, tomato, and cheese.

**grim** · 05-20-2007, 10:14 PM

Just don't use to many. The way I do it, loosely lay out the potatoes into the pan. So they barely touch, spaces inbetween them. Let them crisp a bit, flip them, then put the egg mix over them, the egg mix will cook and wrap the potatoes. Finish like you would making a regular omlette

You can of course use more, I simply like them with just a little potato myself.

**DJSTARER** · 05-20-2007, 10:17 PM

sweet. sometimes I even make ghetto potato pancakes with sweet potato, egg yolk and oil. Thats a nice slow carb meal. (I meant SLOW, not low)

Sluuug · 05-22-2007, 06:57 AM

Don't throw out the yolks

**builtbeast** · 05-22-2007, 07:59 AM

I love to put hot spices in my food. For eggs I'll add tobasco sauce and chi-chi salsa. Sometimes add cottage cheese too, really improves the flavor.

That's actually about the only cheese I use when making eggs. Did recently start buying a fat free cheese, have given that a try a few times but the cottage cheese route, sweet potato, some tuna or salmon and salsa, damn now I'm hungry!
