"I make this on Saturday mornings and it is so easy, but tastes so great! Don't be afraid of the cottage cheese, it makes the eggs creamy and delicious. It's pretty enough to serve to guests!"

Wonderful Omelet but I apologize I cooked it a bit differently - I had some left over cooked spinach so I put it on the pan first with chopped tomato poured in the egg mixture covered it and in 5 minutes it was ready and delicious! I always put cottage cheese in with the eggs when I make an omelet it gives them a lovely texture. Definatedly a do again recipe - Next time I will use fresh spinach & follow the recipe. Made again 26 Sept 01 This time I added the spinach inside the omelet with the cheese and served it with some salsa on top Enjoyed again.

This was good. I think that it would be easy to do it in a microwave too. I think that next time though I'm going to add some fresh sliced mushrooms to it.
