Ingredients

🧅 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
🌱 1/2 cup asparagus, chopped
🌶️ 1/4 cup bell pepper, diced
🥚 2 large eggs
🧀 1/4 cup cottage cheese
🥑 1/2 avocado, sliced
🍅 1/2 cup arugula
🍅 1 tomato, diced
🥒 1/2 cucumber, sliced
🌿 Micro-greens for garnish
🌶️ Salsa verde, to taste
🧂 Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1- Prep the Vegetables:

• Start by finely chopping the red onion, asparagus, and bell pepper.
• Dice the tomato and slice the cucumber for the salad, then slice the avocado and set aside.

2- Make the Salad:

• In a mixing bowl, combine diced tomato, sliced cucumber, and arugula.
• Drizzle with a bit of salsa verde and toss gently. Set aside for serving.

3- Prepare the Omelette:

• Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk until well blended.
• Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. If using oil, add a teaspoon to the skillet.

4- Cook the Omelette:

• Add the chopped red onion, asparagus, and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they soften.
• Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the sautéed vegetables. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the edges are set.
• Spoon the cottage cheese evenly over one half of the omelette, then fold the other half over to cover it. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

5- Serve:

• Carefully transfer the omelette to a plate. If it breaks, don’t worry—top with micro-greens to cover any imperfections.
• Serve with the side salad and garnish with avocado slices.
