Servings: 1 servings
Calories: 399kcal
Ingredients
- 3 Eggs medium
- 50 g Fat free cottage cheese for the eggs
- 100 g Fat free cottage cheese for the filling
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 pinch Sea salt
- 1 pinch Ground black pepper
- Fresh chives to serve; optional
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together 3 Eggs, 50 g Fat free cottage cheese, 1 pinch Sea salt and 1 pinch Ground black pepper until smooth. The cottage cheese will add creaminess and a fluffy lift. Make sure to really whisk it well.
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon Butter (or oil). Let it melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
- Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Tilt the pan slightly so it spreads evenly. Cook undisturbed for around 5 minutes minutes until the edges set.
- Add 100 g Fat free cottage cheese to half the omelette.
- Carefully fold the omelette in half, cooking for another 1–2 minutes until the centre is set but still soft.
- Serve topped with chopped Fresh chives.
Notes
- You could just add all the cottage cheese to the whisked eggs to save a step and a little bit of time.
- Use a small pan so the eggs don't spread too much. You want a nice thick omelette.
- Cook on medium-low heat to avoid browning and keep the omelette soft.
- If you prefer a fluffier texture, add a splash of milk or water when whisking.
- Don’t overfill the omelette with add-ins - too much can cause it to break when folding.
