Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 large Egg whites
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup Cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the egg whites. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Stir in the cottage cheese until it's evenly incorporated with the eggs.
Season the egg mixture with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir to combine.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the spinach to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until it's wilted and bright green.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture over the sautéed spinach.
Allow the omelette to cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is set, but the top is still slightly runny.
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half to cover the cheese.
Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked through but still moist.
Slide the omelette onto a plate, cut in half, and serve hot.
