Cottage Cheese Omelette

SERVES 1

Ingredients  

3 large eggs

¼ cup cottage cheese, I used full-fat

¼ teaspoon salt

Pinch of black pepper

Butter or oil, for cooking

Optional mix-in’s

2 Tablespoons crumbled feta

¼ cup chopped red bell pepper

¼ cup chopped red onion

Instructions 

• Add the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper to a blender and blend until smooth (about 15–30 seconds). This makes the omelette extra fluffy and removes any cottage cheese curds.

• Heat a small nonstick fry pan over medium-low heat and add a little butter or oil.

• Pour the blended egg mixture into the pan. Let it cook undisturbed for 1–2 minutes until the edges start to set. Gently lift the edges with a spatula and tilt the pan so the uncooked egg flows underneath. Keep repeating until most of the egg mixture is cooked. This takes about 7-8 minutes.

• Sprinkle your mix-in's over one half of the omelette. Carefully fold the omelette over, reduce heat to low and cover the pan with a lid for 3-4 minutes to help soften the veggies.

• Transfer to a plate and enjoy!
