# Expert Tips:
01 -
- You feel like you're eating something indulgent but it&aposs secretly light and packed with veggies.
- There&aposs endless flexibility—swap in whatever is in your crisper and it won&apost let you down.
02 -
- I once hurried and didn&apost whisk the egg whites enough—the omelette turned dense instead of fluffy.
- Covering the pan for a few minutes creates steam and helps the top set perfectly without flipping.
03 -
- Letting the egg whites rest for a minute after whisking helps the bubbles stabilize and makes the omelette extra airy.
- Use a lid during cooking—it traps steam so the top sets without ever having to flip.
