Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon butter or olive oil
  • 1/4 cup loosely packed baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons shredded part-skim mozzarella or sharp cheddar

Method
 

  1. Whisk the eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper in a bowl for 30 seconds until combined with small curds.
  2. Melt the butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach, cook until wilted, about 30 seconds, and spread evenly.
  3. Pour the egg mixture over the spinach, tilt the pan, and cook undisturbed until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly, about 3 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle cheese down the middle, turn off heat, fold both sides over the cheese, and slide onto a plate. Serve immediately.

Notes

This omelette is best eaten right away. If you need to keep it warm while making another, set the folded omelette on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven for up to 10 minutes, but the texture will soften slightly.
