This isn’t your average diner-style grease bomb — it’s clean, satisfying, and totally customizable. Whether you’re bulking, cutting, or just trying to hit those protein goals without chugging a shake, this one’s for you.
Ingredients
For the Omelette:
3 egg whites
2 whole eggs
Salt + pepper to taste
1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
1 tsp olive oil or avocado oil
For the Filling:
1/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1/4 cup chopped cooked turkey breast or chicken
1/4 cup baby spinach, chopped
2 tbsp diced bell peppers (any color)
1 tbsp chopped red onion
1 tbsp shredded low-fat cheddar (optional but yum)
Instructions
Step 1: Whisk It Up
In a bowl, whisk together the egg whites, whole eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until slightly frothy.
Step 2: Sauté the Veggies
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the oil. Sauté the onion and bell peppers for 2–3 minutes until softened. Add the spinach and cook until just wilted. Remove from pan and set aside.
Step 3: Cook the Eggs
Lower the heat to medium-low. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and swirl to cover the bottom evenly. Let it cook undisturbed for 1–2 minutes until the bottom starts to set.
Step 4: Fill It Up
Add the sautéed veggies, turkey, cottage cheese, and shredded cheese (if using) to one side of the omelette. Use a spatula to gently fold the other side over the filling.
Step 5: Finish and Serve
Let the omelette cook for another minute to melt the cheese and heat the filling through. Slide onto a plate and serve hot.
Notes
Chop your veggies and pre-cook turkey the night before.
You can even beat the eggs and store them in the fridge in a sealed container for a couple of days.
Omelettes don’t reheat perfectly, but you can microwave leftovers on low with a damp paper towel to keep it from drying out.
