Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 5 minutes

Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

½ tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 clove garlic, minced
1 small shallot, finely diced
2 cups kale, stems removed, ribbon-cut
2 tbsp finely grated Parmesan
6 oz cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
8 large egg whites (or 1¼ cups liquid)
Lemon wedge for serving
Olive oil spray (or 1 tsp oil)
Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Prep Station → Slice mushrooms paper-thin, ribbon kale, mince shallot/garlic—crack egg whites into bowl and whisk lightly.
Heat Pan → Mist non-stick skillet with olive oil spray; warm over medium heat until shimmering.
Mushroom Magic → Add mushrooms in one layer—cook 2 minutes undisturbed until golden edges form.
Soften Base → Stir in shallot and garlic—sauté 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Kale Wilting → Toss in kale ribbons with pinch salt—fold 1 minute until bright green and tender.
Thyme Season → Sprinkle fresh thyme and light pepper—stir to distribute earthy aroma.
Egg White Cloud → Pour egg whites around pan edges; let set 20 seconds, then gently fold.
Fluffy Curds → Continue folding slowly from edges to center—cook 1-2 minutes until just set.
Parmesan Melt → Remove from heat; sprinkle Parmesan—residual warmth melts it silkily.
Bright Finish → Squeeze lemon wedge over top; pile onto warm plates and devour immediately.

Notes

Dry-sauté mushrooms first—no crowding.
Low heat prevents tough, watery whites.
Ribbon-cut kale cooks in 60 seconds flat.
Parmesan off-heat avoids stringy clumps.
