1 teaspoons milk
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
1 small tomato, thinly sliced

  1.    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2.    In a small bowl add egg whites, milk, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and chervil. Whisk well.
  3.    Add two tablespoons pesto.
  4.    Spray small cast iron skillet. Over medium heat. Pour eggs evenly into skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until the whites just set around the edges.
