Egg White Tartlet with Herb de Provence Recipe

Stove Top and Instant Pot Pressure Cooker Instructions

An egg white tartlet seasoned with herbs is a delicious, no cholesterol, high protein, and gluten free teatime savory.  It is also a versatile accompaniment to add to salads or serve as a hors d’oeuvre.  Please enjoy my newly created, easy to make healthy recipe.  For cooking equipment, I have used an egg coddler to boil the egg white tartlet in a saucepan on the stove or cook in an Instant Pot pressure cooker.
