Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion.

- Spray a nonstick skillet with a short burst of cooking spray oil. Place the skillet over medium heat.

- 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.
- In a bowl, beat the 4 eggs until they are well combined and slightly frothy.
- 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.
- Spoon the cooked onion, tomato, and spinach mixture evenly over one half of the omelet.
- Dollop the lowfat cottage cheese over the vegetable mixture.
- 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.
- Slide the omelet from the skillet onto a plate. Cut it into portions if desired.
- 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.
