Ingredients:

0.30g
1/4 cup onion
40g
5 tomatoes
340g
1/2 cup spinach
16g
4 eggs
220g
3 oz lowfat cottage cheese
90g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Dice the tomatoes.
- Chop the spinach into small pieces.
2. Preheat the Pan:
- Spray a nonstick skillet with a short burst of cooking spray oil. Place the skillet over medium heat.
3. Cook the Onion:
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they become translucent.
4. Add Tomatoes and Spinach:
- Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set it aside.
5. Prepare the Eggs:
- In a bowl, beat the 4 eggs until they are well combined and slightly frothy.
6. Cook the Omelet:
- Spray the skillet again with a short burst of cooking spray oil. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, tilting the skillet to ensure the eggs cover the bottom evenly.
- Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to set and the center is still slightly runny.
7. Fill the Omelet:
- Spoon the cooked onion, tomato, and spinach mixture evenly over one half of the omelet.
- Dollop the lowfat cottage cheese over the vegetable mixture.
8. Fold and Finish:
- Carefully fold the bare half of the omelet over the filled side using a spatula.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes to ensure the center is fully cooked and the cheese warms.
9. Serve:
- Slide the omelet from the skillet onto a plate. Cut it into portions if desired.
10. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious and delicious Spinach, Tomato, and Cottage Cheese Omelet!

Tips:

- Ensure the spinach is well-drained and excess moisture is removed, as this will prevent the omelet from becoming watery.

- Chop the onion and tomatoes finely to ensure even cooking and to distribute their flavors throughout the omelet.

- Whisk the eggs thoroughly for a fluffy and light texture.

- Cook the omelet on medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring the eggs are fully set.

- Use a non-stick skillet and cooking spray to prevent the omelet from sticking.

- Feel free to add herbs like chives or parsley for an extra burst of flavor.

- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
