Protein-packed breakfast: Elevate your morning with an omelette

Omelette is a versatile dish that we most often associate with breakfast. Traditionally, it is made from beaten eggs and can be served both sweet and savoury. More complicated are omelettes with the addition of flour, such as sponge cakes. But can you prepare an omelette in a dietary version?

For a light omelette, only two main ingredients are needed: eggs and cottage cheese. This combination is often recommended by nutritionists to start the day. Preparing an omelette takes literally a moment, so you can enjoy such a breakfast even during busy weekdays. Ideal additions to such an omelette? Of course, vegetables. This time of year, the selection is wide, including tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, and radishes. You can always toss in some arugula, lettuce, or spinach leaves.

Eggs and cottage cheese make a good duo, especially for those on a diet. Eggs are a great source of high-quality protein, which is also easily digestible, providing long-lasting satiety and energy. They contain essential cholesterol and plenty of vitamins – D, A, E, and B-group vitamins. They also have iodine, phosphorus, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids. When you add cottage cheese, the meal becomes even more nutritious. Cottage cheese is packed with protein, easily digestible, and has a neutral taste.

Ingredients:

• 200 g cottage cheese,
• 2 eggs,
• 2 tablespoons instant oats,
• a few arugula or lettuce leaves (optional),
• a few cherry tomatoes,
• a tablespoon of grated yellow cheese (optional),
• salt and pepper to taste,
• clarified butter for frying.

Preparation method:

1. Mix cottage cheese with eggs. Thicken the mixture with oats. Season to taste.
2. Heat butter in a skillet. Pour in the mixture and fry on medium heat for a few minutes. Once the omelette sets, flip it over.
3. Continue frying for about 3 more minutes. Serve warm with arugula or lettuce leaves, cherry tomatoes, and grated cheese.
