Step 1

Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of cottage cheese and all the parmesan, salt and pepper. Whisk with an electric mixer until smooth.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a 9-inch non-stick frying pan. Reduce the heat to medium/low. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and swirl the pan around to coat the bottom. Cook for 7-8 minutes or until the egg is mostly set. **see notes

Step 3

Spoon the remaining cottage cheese onto one half of the omelette. Fold the omelette and keep it in the pan for another minute until the cottage cheese is lukewarm.

Step 4

Slide the omelette onto a plate. Top with chopped chives and serve straight away.
