Cottage cheese omelette

A Cottage Cheese Omelette is a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. This recipe combines the protein power of eggs with the creamy texture of low-fat cottage cheese, and the fresh flavor of spearmint, making it a delightful breakfast option. Plus, the addition of peas adds a touch of sweetness and extra nutrients to your meal.

Ingredients:

4 eggs
200g
1 tbsp water
16g
1 tbsp parsley
16g
1 tbsp butter
16g
1/2 cup peas
60g
1/3 cup lowfat cottage cheese
72g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Break the eggs into a medium-sized bowl.
- Add 1 tablespoon of water to the eggs.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Whisk the eggs and water together until well combined and slightly frothy.
2. Add the Herbs:
- Stir in the chopped spearmint into the egg mixture.
3. Cook the Omelette:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and let it melt, swirling the pan to coat the bottom evenly.

4. Add the Egg Mixture:
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it out in an even layer.
5. Add the Fillings:
- Sprinkle the peas evenly over one half of the omelette.
- Add the cottage cheese on top of the peas, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
6. Cook Until Set:
- Cook the omelette for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set and the bottom is golden brown. The center should still be slightly runny.
7. Fold the Omelette:
- Using a spatula, carefully fold the uncovered half of the omelette over the filled half. Press down gently to seal.
8. Finish Cooking:
- Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are completely set and the cheese is warmed through.
9. Serve:
- Slide the omelette onto a plate, cut in half if desired, and serve immediately. Garnish with additional spearmint if desired.

Tips:

- Beat the eggs thoroughly: Ensure the eggs are well-beaten with water to create a fluffy and light omelette.

- Cook over medium heat: Cooking the omelette over medium heat helps to avoid burning the eggs and ensures that all ingredients are evenly cooked.

- Add fresh spearmint at the end: To preserve its fresh flavor, add spearmint towards the end of cooking rather than cooking it with the eggs from the start.

- Use a non-stick pan: Using a non-stick pan with a bit of butter will help to prevent the omelette from sticking and tearing apart.

- Don't overcook the peas: Pre-cooked or fresh peas should only be lightly stirred in to keep their texture and avoid them becoming mushy.

Enjoy your Cottage Cheese Omelette as a satisfying and healthy breakfast that is both easy to make and packed with nutrition. Whether you're cooking for yourself or serving it to family, this dish is sure to please with its unique blend of flavors.
