Ingredients
1.5 cups of Egg Substitute3/4 cup of 1% Cottage Cheese1/4 cup of Raw Onions Chopped1/2 cup Spinach - cooked, OR1 cup Spinach Raw (if raw, make sure you heat it up in the pan before you start your omelet- make it nice and wilty!)6 Cherry Tomatoes (diced)Pam or Other Non-Stick Cooking Spray
Directions
Makes 1 HUGE and delicious Omelet!

Heat pan with good amount of cooking spray on burner at a high setting (I usually use between 6 and 8 on a scale of 1-10).

When cooking spray is sizzling, add in the 1.5 cup of egg substitue and the 1/4 cup of raw chopped onions.

Make a traditional omelet - let the bottom of the omelet fry, occasionally lifting up the corners and tilting the liquid egg underneath to also cook.

When your omelet is close to perfection, or almost to the color of brown you like on the bottom, put 1/5 cup of Cottage Cheese (try not to get too much of the liquid), the 1/2 cup of Cooked Spinach, and the chopped tomatoes evenly on 1/2 of the omelet. While still in the pan, let it cook like this for another 1-2 minutes, softening and warming all the ingredients!

Next, flip the bare half of the omelet over onto the full side, creating that perfect half circle!!

Now you're done! Slide that bad boy onto a plate, top off with the remaining 1/4 cup of Cottage Cheese, and you have a delicious, low fat, and amazing huge omelet all for your enjoyment! If I can do it, you can, believe me! <3

    I would make this with a free-range local egg. Who knows what really goes into egg substitute? Otherwise, sounds very good. - 5/22/13

    Add half FF ricotta cheese or substitude FF ricotta cheese. That is also low in cal and high in protein and quite delish. Thanks for posting this recipe. Gonna try it today. Cheers. - 2/28/13

    I was so excited to try this. A little disappointed since the picture looks more like a quiche. Still was a nice change from plain ole' chicken...but was a little underwhelming. BTW, this makes a very large omelet. Next time I would do less egg substitute. - 6/14/13

    Very good. I also put a little garlic in with the onion and added a little salsa to the top. - 1/29/11

    For everyone afraid of "egg substitute" I think what the OP meant was like egg beaters. It's usually egg whites with added water and colouring. You could probably do the same thing with equal parts egg whites. - 7/1/15

    'Egg substitute' doesn't sound like anything I would want to put into my body. - 4/18/15

    Is that sodium content correct??? That's almost my whole daily limit! That's why I don't eat cottage cheese. The last time I tried something with it the food was so salty that I couldn't eat it. - 11/6/18

    This is a super omelet that I have added to my collection. Sounds really tasty and am looking forward to making it. - 9/9/17

    This looks wonderful, but the recipe calls for 3/4 cup of cottage cheese ... however, the directions only have us actually use 1/5 of a cup when making the omelet and 1/4 cup to top the omelet when done. Also it is really high in sodium. hmmmm.... - 8/15/17

    Why is there so much sodium? The only ingredient that should contain sodium is the cottage cheese, and while often high, I didn't think it would be that high! Looks like a yummy recipe ... I'm looking forward to trying it, but like others, I'll use regular eggs instead. Thanks for sharing! - 1/22/17

    Thanks for the inspiration, I've never used cottage cheese in an omelette before. I'm not into egg substitutes, so I used my standard 4 free-range brown eggs, a little tarragon and parsley, cottage cheese and tomatoes. So creamy and great but I dashed some sriracha sauce over the top for extra zip. - 6/11/16

    That's a dangerous amount of sodium - 11/7/15
