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

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Let the omelette continue to cook gently for about 1 more minute, or until slightly firm but still soft at the center.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Slide the omelette onto a warm plate, garnish with chopped chives, and serve immediately.
