Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Gather all your ingredients and have them ready to use.
- Wash and pat dry the spinach. Set aside.
- Heat 1/2 tsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the spinach and sauté until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, crack the 2 eggs and beat them until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
- Add the cottage cheese, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to the beaten eggs, stirring well to combine.
- Reheat the same non-stick skillet over medium heat (no need to add extra oil).
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, swirling to create an even layer.
- As the eggs begin to set, add the sautéed spinach evenly over the surface.
- Cook until the eggs are just set but still slightly creamy on top, about 2-3 minutes.
- If desired, you can fold the omelet in half to cook it more thoroughly, or leave it flat for a more traditional open-faced style.
- While the omelet is cooking, toast the 2 slices of whole-wheat bread to your desired level of crispness.
- Place each slice of toasted whole-wheat bread on a plate.
- Cut the cooked omelet into two even portions, and place each portion on top of the toasted bread slices.
- Serve immediately while warm. Optionally, you can garnish with extra black pepper or a dash of hot sauce for added flavor.
Tips:
- Ensure that the spinach is thoroughly washed and dried before cooking to remove any dirt or moisture.
- To add more flavor, consider sautéing some garlic in the olive oil before adding the spinach.
- For a fluffier omelet, beat the eggs well before cooking, incorporating plenty of air.
- If you prefer a more melty texture, try mixing some shredded cheese with the cottage cheese.
- Remember to preheat the pan for even cooking and to prevent sticking.
- Toast the whole-wheat bread slices before assembling the sandwich for extra crunch and sturdiness.
- Experiment with additional toppings like sliced tomatoes, avocado, or herbs such as chives or basil for added flavor.
Your open-faced Florentine omelet sandwich with cottage cheese is now ready to be enjoyed. This recipe offers a delicious balance of flavors and textures, including the creaminess of cottage cheese, the earthiness of spinach, and the comforting taste of whole-wheat bread. It's a perfect meal to start your day off right or as a substantial snack any time.
