A quick and delicious high-protein omelet perfect for a healthy breakfast. This keto-friendly recipe is ready in minutes!
Equipment
- Frying Pan
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 6 tablespoons cottage cheese divided
- 1/4 cup diced lean ham optional, for extra flavor
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese optional, for cheesiness
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/16 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Get started by blending the eggs, 2 tablespoons of cottage cheese, salt, and pepper until wonderfully smooth. Don't worry if it looks a bit frothy – that's perfectly normal!
- Heat up a 9-inch frying pan over medium heat and give it a quick spray with nonstick cooking spray for a healthy, easy release.
- Pour your smooth egg mixture into the warm pan and let it cook gently for about 5-6 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is mostly firm.
- While the omelet is cooking, gently mix the remaining 4 tablespoons of cottage cheese with your optional diced ham and cheddar cheese. Once the omelet is nearly set, spoon this delicious filling onto one half of the omelet.
- Using a spatula, carefully fold the empty half of the omelet over the filling to create a perfect half-moon shape. Slide it onto a plate and serve immediately for a fresh and satisfying meal!
