Ingredients
  

Egg & Cottage Cheese Mixture
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Pinch of salt and black pepper
Filling
  • 2 tablespoons white onion diced
  • 1/2 green bell pepper diced
  • 1 slice turkey bacon diced
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese
Garnish
  • Fresh chives
  • Hot sauce or salsa
  • Sliced avocado

Directions
 

  1. Add the ingredients for your egg and cottage cheese mixture into a food processor or blender.
  2. Blend until smooth. It should take about 10 to 15 seconds.
  3. Chop up your onion, bell pepper and turkey bacon. We’ll want to dice these.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat and give it a light spray of oil.
  5. Add your diced vegetables and turkey bacon to the skillet and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the skillet.
  6. Pour the blended egg and cottage cheese mixture into the pan. Cover with a lid and let it cook for about 2 to 3 minutes.
  7. Once the mixture is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, add the diced vegetables, turkey bacon and shredded cheese over half of the omelette.
  8. Fold the omelette in half using a spatula. Let it finish cooking for 1 to 2 more minutes. Then remove from the skillet.
  9. Garnish with fresh chives and your choice of hot sauce or salsa.
