Ingredients

1/3 cup / 75 ml 2% cottage cheese
2 tbsp / 30 ml finely chopped fresh dill, basil or mint leaves
1/2 tsp / 2 ml finely grated lemon zest
pinch each salt and pepper
1 tsp / 5 ml olive oil
1 cup / 250 g EGG Creations! Fat Free Original or Naturegg Omega Plus, well shaken
1/4 cup / 50 ml baby peas (fresh or thawed, frozen)

Directions

  1. Stir the cottage cheese with the dill, lemon zest, salt and pepper; set aside. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat.

  2. Pour the eggs into the skillet. Cover and cook, without stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes or until almost set. Spread the cottage cheese mixture and peas over half of the omelette. Fold over and cook, covered, for 2 to 3 additional minutes or until set.

Tips

  1. Replace the cottage cheese with crumbled chèvre or feta cheese.

  2. Replace the peas with thawed, shelled edamame (green soybeans) for a different protein source.
