Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg whites
- 2 tablespoons low-fat cottage cheese
- 4 cherry tomatoes
- 1 handful spinach leaves
- 0.25 onion
- 0.25 bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, add egg whites, and beat together with a whisk until fully blended. Add the salt and black pepper to the egg mixture and set aside.
Chop the onion, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes into small pieces. Wash and drain the spinach leaves.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and bell pepper, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Add cherry tomatoes and spinach leaves to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 3 minutes or until the edges start to set.
Spread the low-fat cottage cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the cottage cheese. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the omelette is fully set but still tender.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
