Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 3 large Egg whites
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives, finely chopped
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely, ensuring it coats the surface of the pan without browning.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, and let it sit for about 10 seconds. As it begins to set, use a silicone spatula to gently stir, using a scrambling motion, just until small curds form and the texture is creamy.
Smooth out the surface of the omelette with the spatula, reducing heat to low, and evenly sprinkle the cottage cheese over one half of the omelette.
Let the omelette continue to cook gently for about 1 more minute, or until slightly firm but still soft at the center.
With the spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half over the cottage cheese. Allow it to rest in the pan for another 10-15 seconds to meld flavors.
Slide the omelette onto a warm plate, garnish with chopped chives, and serve immediately.
