Cottage Cheese Omelette
Kickstart your morning with this easy cottage cheese omelette. It’s loaded with creamy, salty cottage cheese, sharp cheddar, and plenty of protein to power your day.
Servings: 1 person
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup cottage cheese full-fat
- ¼ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- ½-1 tbsp neutral oil butter, or nonstick cooking spray
- Salt and pepper to taste I usually do a pinch of each
- Chopped chives or parsley for serving
Instructions
- Blend eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper in a high-speed blender or with an immersion blender until completely smooth (about 30 seconds).
- Heat a nonstick skillet over low-medium heat (I recommend keeping it on the low end to prevent the omelette from browning too quickly). Add the oil or butter, or coat with nonstick cooking spray, coating the pan evenly.
- Pour the blended egg mixture into the skillet and tilt the pan so that it thoroughly coats the edges. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1–2 minutes until the edges begin to set. Use a spatula to gently push the edges toward the center, then tilt the pan again so that any uncooked egg flows to the edges.
- When the eggs are mostly set, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
- Carefully fold the omelette in half over the cheese. Cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked through to your liking.
- Garnish with fresh herbs, green onions, freshly diced tomatoes, or any other toppings you like and enjoy!
