Ingredients

Scale

Omelette Mixture

  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons cottage cheese
  • 2 teaspoons whole milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 pinches black pepper

For Cooking & Garnish

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons cottage cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Whisk eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, 2 tablespoons of cottage cheese, whole milk, kosher salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Heat oil: Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
  3. Cook eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the heated pan and cook gently for about 5 minutes, allowing the eggs to set without browning too much.
  4. Fold omelette: Spoon the remaining 3 tablespoons of cottage cheese onto one half of the omelette, then carefully fold the other half over the top. Cook for an additional minute to warm the filling and slightly melt the cheese.
  5. Garnish and serve: Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh, mild onion flavor. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Use a non-stick pan for easier folding and cleaner cooking.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on your preference.
  • You can substitute whole milk with any preferred milk alternative.
  • Green onions can be replaced with chives or parsley for different flavors.
  • Ensure the heat is medium-low to avoid overcooking and browning the eggs.
