Good to know

Cottage cheese doesn't just make omelettes incredibly fluffy – it also adds a good amount of protein to your breakfast.

Swaps

Chives → fresh parsley (provides a little more vitamin C).

Cooking tips

Cook the omelette over a fairly low heat. Eggs quickly turn rubbery and dry if the heat is too high.
