3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 large egg whites
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, or canola oil
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or chives

Preparation

Preheat oven to 300°F. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper or coat them with cooking spray.
Whisk flour, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk egg whites and oil in a mixing bowl. Add flour mixture and whisk until smooth. Stir in cheese and parsley (or chives).
Drop batter by scant tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets, making 4 wafers per sheet. Spread batter into 4- to 4-1/2-inch circles with a metal spatula or the back of a spoon.
