Oprah’s Scrambled Eggs with Fresh Herbs and Cheese
Oprah uses thyme, oregano, or chives — whatever’s freshest in her herb garden — when cooking up scrambled eggs. She keeps the meal healthy by using mostly egg whites in the scramble.
Ingredients
6 egg whites
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon(s) fresh thyme or oregano or chives
1 scallion, minced
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 ounce(s) pepper Jack cheese (or 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese)
Directions
In a bowl, beat the egg whites and the yolk. Add the herbs and scallion, and season with salt and pepper.
Spray a nonstick omelet pan with cooking spray, heat the pan to medium, and pour in the eggs. Use a wooden spoon to move them around, making sure to scrape the bottom to prevent them from sticking. When they begin to come together, sprinkle on the cheese, and cook till they reach the desired doneness. Enjoy!
