Cottage Cheese Omelette (Easy, High Protein)

This Cottage Cheese Omelette combines beaten eggs, cottage cheese, and parmesan into a smooth mixture cooked low and slow to a tender finish. The cottage cheese added inside keeps the folded omelette moist and creamy, while the chives provide a fresh flavor accent. The omelette is cooked on medium-low heat for about 7-8 minutes and folded gently to warm the filling, creating a protein-rich, soft-textured dish useful for a satisfying breakfast or light meal.

  2. Heat the oil in a 9-inch non-stick frying pan. Reduce the heat to medium/low. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and swirl the pan around to coat the bottom. Cook for 7-8 minutes or until the egg is mostly set. **see notes

Notes

  • This recipe yields one omelette with approximately 4.3g net carbs.
  • For smaller portions, halve the eggs, parmesan, and cottage cheese used in the egg mixture.
  • Lift the edges of the cooking omelette carefully to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath and speed even cooking.
  • Optional toppings include sautéed spinach, mushrooms, ham, or cheese added on top of the cottage cheese filling inside the omelette.
