Jane you can easily cook the egg whites on the stovetop. Heat a little cooking oil or light butter to a small nonstick pan. Or, coat the pan with cooking spray. Separate 2 eggs and add just the white to a small bowl. Do not mix. Pour whites into pan. Cook, without scrambling, until cooked through. Remove with spatula and add to sandwich.
Enjoy!

Sounds tasty but I don’t have a microwave? Any hints on how to cook eggs whites on stove top?
Sorry I didn’t say microwave. Yes, you cook the egg whites in microwave for about 1 minute, 20 seconds.
Enjoy!
