Cottage Cheese Omelette (High Protein)
Description
The Cottage Cheese Omelette combines two large eggs whisked with a tablespoon of milk to ensure even cooking and a smooth texture. Spinach is sautéed briefly in olive oil until wilted and evenly spread in the pan before pouring the egg mixture over it. Cooking over medium-low heat allows the eggs to set gently without browning too quickly. The omelette is gently lifted and tilted to let uncooked egg flow underneath, creating an even cook.
Once mostly set, cottage cheese is spooned onto one half, and the omelette folded, enclosing the cheese. The cheese provides creamy moisture and protein, contrasting with the tender spinach and mild eggs. Seasoning with salt and black pepper keeps the flavor balanced.
It is best served immediately for optimal texture and warmth. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheated in the microwave.
Ingredients
- 2 large egg
- 1 Tbsp milk 15 mL
- 1 tsp olive oil 5 mL
- 1 cup spinach 30 g, fresh
- ¼ cup cottage cheese 50 g
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Beat: Whisk together the eggs and dairy until smooth (the egg yolks and whites should be completely mixed together).
- Spinach: Add oil to a large saute pan over medium heat. Add spinach, cooking until it wilts down completely, about 1 minute. Once wilted, distribute spinach evenly around the bottom of the pan.
- Egg: Reduce heat to medium/low, then pour eggs over the spinach. Allow bottom of eggs to slightly set, 2 to 3 minutes. With a spatula, gently push an edge of the egg up while tilting the pan to allow the liquidy egg on top to flow underneath. Repeat this around the edge of the pan until no liquid is left.
- Fold: Spoon cottage cheese onto one side of the omelette. Fold the omelette in half or into thirds (pro tip: Slide half of the omelette out of the pan and halfway onto a plate, then fold the remaining half over itself). Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Store any leftover omelette in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat leftovers gently in the microwave before serving to maintain texture.
