Ingredients

Scale

    Egg Mixture:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk or water
  • ½ cup egg whites
  • ¼ cup cottage cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable Mix:

  • ½ cup chopped spinach
  • ¼ cup diced bell pepper
  • ¼ cup chopped onion
  • ⅓ cup diced cooked chicken breast or turkey
  • Additional:

  • ¼ cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or nonstick spray

Instructions

  1. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, milk (or water), salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Cook Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions and bell pepper for 2–3 minutes until softened. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
  3. Cook Omelet: Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Cook undisturbed for about 1 minute, then add cottage cheese and chicken to one half. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Fold omelet in half and cook for another 1–2 minutes until set.
  4. Serve: Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, omit the meat and add extra vegetables or black beans.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt for cottage cheese for a tangier flavor.
