Separate egg whites from yolks and place in a bowl.

Whisk egg whites until slightly frothy.

Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Pour whisked egg whites into the skillet.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Cook until the edges begin to set, about 2-3 minutes.

Gently lift the edges with a spatula to allow uncooked egg whites to flow underneath.

Add cheese and vegetables on one half of the egg whites.

Fold the other half over the filling and cook for another 1-2 minutes until set.

Remove from skillet and serve hot with fresh herbs and hot sauce if desired.
