• 4 eggs
• 4 egg whites
• 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tomatoes, chopped

By far the best omelet I think I have ever made! Used low fat cottage cheese- you can't even tell it's there. Halved the recipe for a brunch meal, wow.. would make this again in a heartbeat!

This was a very good omelette. It was nice that it is low fat. The one thing I didn't really like was the cottage cheese, otherwise the veggies and cheese made a nice omelette.

This doesn't taste like diet food. It delicious and quite filling. I substituted red peppers for the tomatoes because I don't care for the tasteless little red rocks they call tomatoes at this time of year. Thanks for posting. Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
