Simple to make and packed with muscle building ingredients, this recipe is great to have in the evening due to it’s high protein and low carb content.
Ingredients
8 egg whites
3/4 cup of 1% cottage cheese
1/4 cup of raw onions, chopped
1/2 cup spinach - cooked, OR
1 cup spinach raw (if raw, make sure you heat it up in the pan before you start your omelette - make it nice and wilty!)
6 cherry tomatoes, diced
Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Heat pan with good amount of cooking spray on burner at a high setting.
When cooking spray is sizzling, add in the eggs and the 1/4 cup of raw chopped onions.
Let the bottom of the omelette fry, occasionally lifting up the corners and tilting the liquid egg underneath to also cook.
When your omelette is close to perfection, or almost to the colour of brown you like on the bottom, put 1/5 cup of cottage cheese, the 1/2 cup of cooked spinach, and the chopped tomatoes evenly on 1/2 of the omelette. While still in the pan, let it cook like this for another 1-2 minutes, softening and warming all the ingredients!
Next, flip the bare half of the omelette over onto the full side, creating that perfect half circle!
Now you're done! Slide onto a plate, top off with the remaining 1/4 cup of cottage cheese, and you have a delicious, low fat, and amazing huge omelette all for your enjoyment!
