2-Egg Cottage Cheese & Cheddar Omelette
A light, fluffy, 2-egg high-protein omelette stuffed with creamy low-fat cottage cheese and mature cheddar. Delivering 29g of complete protein for under R19, this quick breakfast is designed to solve early-morning volume fatigue on GLP-1 journeys - giving you maximum protein density without sitting heavily on a sensitive stomach.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup low-fat cottage cheese (80g), smooth or chunky
- 30 g Mature Cheddar, finely grated
- pinch of fine salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- cooking spray or ½ tsp olive oil / butter for the pan
Instructions
- Whisk & Season: In a small bowl, crack the 2 eggs, season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, and whisk vigorously with a fork until frothy and uniform.
- Heat the Pan: Heat a 20 cm non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a touch of oil.
- Pour & Set Base: Pour the whisked eggs into the hot pan, tilting slightly so the egg covers the surface evenly. Let it cook undisturbed for 30 to 45 seconds until the base begins to set.
- Add the Cottage Cheese Layer: Spoon the cottage cheese in an even layer across just one half of the omelette. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the edges are firm and the top is almost set.
- Fold & Melt: Gently loosen the empty side of the omelette with a spatula and fold it directly over the cottage cheese half. Turn the heat down to low, pop a lid or plate over the pan, and let it cook for 1 to 2 minutes. The trapped steam gently warms and melts the cottage cheese into a velvety, creamy filling.
- Top & Serve: Slide the omelette onto your plate, immediately scatter the grated cheddar over the warm top so it melts into the crust, and enjoy hot!
Baker's Tip: If you prefer a completely smooth texture without curd flecks, blitz the cottage cheese with a fork or mini-blender before adding it to the pan
