Eggs are high in protein and make for a great lunch but sometimes I rather not have the added calories and cholesterol of the yolk. Yes I could easily hard boil a couple eggs and simply throw out the yolk but that seems rather wasteful so I cam up with this idea.
You'll Need
Small glass jar
Tight fitting lid*
Egg whites
*If using a canning jar and lid, use a previously use lid or else you'll end up with canned egg whites!
Place desired amount of egg white in to jar. I did a quarter cup which is equal to two egg whites. Place lid on jar and tighten.
Fill a deep pot with warm water. Submerge the filled jar into the warm water, allow to sit for about a minute to warm the jar and egg white. Turn stove to a medium heat. Boil for about 10 minutes.
*Do not put jar into already boiling water as it will break (found this out the hard way!)*
Carefully remove jar from boiling water and allow to cool or run under warm water until you are able to open the lid.
Scoop out egg whites into a bowl and add with your favorite egg salad mix-ins. I added a little low fat mayo, mustard and cayenne pepper.
I make mine into a pita with homemade guacamole, pickles, cheese and spinach.
