Packed with proteins from eggs and cottage cheese, and enriched with the goodness of spinach, this omelet is both satisfying and healthy. The addition of grated parmesan cheese adds a savoriness that complements the other flavors beautifully.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl, add a dash of salt and black pepper, and whisk together until fully beaten.
- Wash and dry the spinach if it's not pre-washed.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
- Once the oil is heated, add the spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Remove the cooked spinach from the skillet and set aside.
- Reduce the skillet heat to medium-low and pour in the beaten eggs.
- Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until they start to set around the edges but are still somewhat runny in the center.
- Once the eggs are partially set, evenly distribute the cooked spinach over one half of the omelet.
- Add the cottage cheese and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the spinach.
- Using a spatula, gently fold the omelet in half, covering the fillings.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the eggs are fully cooked and the cheese is melted. The omelet should be golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside.
- Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate.
- Serve immediately, optionally garnished with extra grated Parmesan or fresh herbs like parsley or chives.
Tips:
- Ensure the spinach is thoroughly washed and dried before adding it to the omelet to prevent excess moisture.
- For a fluffier omelet, beat the eggs well until the whites and yolks are fully combined and aerated.
- Use low to medium heat when cooking the omelet to avoid burning and to ensure even cooking.
- Feel free to add other herbs and veggies, such as chives or bell peppers, for added flavor and nutrition.
- If you prefer a creamier texture, blend the cottage cheese slightly before adding it to the omelet mixture.
This Egg and Cottage Cheese Omelet is a versatile and flavorful dish that can be prepared quickly and easily. Whether you're looking for a hearty breakfast or a light lunch, this omelet is sure to satisfy your cravings. It's also a great way to incorporate more greens and protein into your diet.
