Ingredients (Serves 3-4):
7 oz. (200g) cottage cheese
4 handfuls of fresh watercress
Peel (zest) of 1 lemon
6 large eggs
1/4 cup (30ml) cream
1 tsp. mixed herbs
4 tsp. coconut oil
3.5 oz. (100g) smoked salmon, chopped
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cottage Cheese Paste
Start by making the flavourful cottage cheese paste that will be the heart of your omelette wrap.
Place the cottage cheese, fresh watercress, and the peel (or zest) of one lemon in a high-sided bowl or food processor.
Use a hand blender or food processor to puree the ingredients until a smooth paste forms. This mixture will add a zesty and creamy kick to your omelette wrap.
2. Beat the Eggs
In a separate bowl, beat the six large eggs until well combined.
Add the cream and mixed herbs to the beaten eggs and stir them in thoroughly. This mixture will give your omelette a creamy and herby flavour.
3. Cook the Omelettes
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp of coconut oil, olive oil or butter - totally up to you.
Pour a quarter of the egg mixture into the pan and cook it for about 2 minutes, or until the egg solidifies.
Carefully flip the omelette and cook the other side for an additional 30 seconds, or until it's fully cooked. Repeat this process with the remaining egg mixture, using 1 tsp of coconut oil for each omelette.
4. Assemble the Omelette Wraps
Once your omelettes are ready, remove them from the pan and set them aside.
Spread the prepared cottage cheese paste over each omelette, ensuring an even distribution.
Sprinkle the chopped smoked salmon on top of the cottage cheese paste. The smoky and savoury salmon perfectly complements the creamy cottage cheese and herb-infused eggs.
5. Roll and Serve
To complete your omelette wraps, carefully roll them up like burritos, tucking in the sides as you go.
Using a sharp knife, cut each rolled omelette wrap in half to create two satisfying portions.
Now you're ready to enjoy your low-carb, high-protein omelette wrap! The combination of the zesty cottage cheese paste, creamy eggs, and the savoury smoked salmon creates a flavour explosion that will make your taste buds dance.
Whether you're looking for a delicious breakfast treat or a quick and healthy brunch option, this recipe is a winner.
