Ingredients
 
 

  • ½ medium Zucchini - sliced into half moons
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 2 tbsp Cottage Cheese
  • 1 tsp Butter
  • ⅓ cup Cheddar Cheese - sharp, grated
  • Sea Salt and Black Pepper - to taste

Instructions
 

  • Sauté the sliced zucchini with the butter over a medium-high heat for around 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and softened.
  • Meanwhile whisk the eggs and cottage cheese together along with sea salt and black pepper.
  • Once the zucchini is softened, spread the slices over the pan so they're roughly evenly distributed.
  • Pour over the egg mixture, tilting the pan to spread it evenly.
  • Cook for 2 to 3 mins, lifting the edges with a spatula so the uncooked egg runs underneath the parts that have started to cook already.
  • Sprinkle cheddar over one half of the omelette then fold the plain half over to cover the cheese.
  • Cook for a further 1 to 2 minutes until the cheese melts and the eggs have set.
  • Serve hot.
