Creamy Goat Cheese Pesto Omelet (Ww 10 Pointsplus) - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1/2 cup edamame, frozen shelled (organic preferred)
4 large organic egg whites
1/2 cup organic fat-free cottage cheese (Horizon or Friendship brand)
1/4 cup goat cheese, crumbled
1 1/2 tablespoons prepared basil pesto
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
4 slices whole- wheat bread, toasted
organic fruit preserves (optional)
Preparation
-
Heat a large nonstick skillet coated lightly with cooking spray over medium heat until hot. Add the edammame and cook until beginning to brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
In medium bowl beat together the egg whites and cottage cheese; add to the skillet and stir in the edammame. Continue to cook without stirring for 2 minutes or until set on bottom. Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet to allow the uncooked portion of eggs to settle to the bottom and edges and set. Continue cooking for 2 minutes or until the center is almost set.
Combine the goat cheese and pesto; spoon the mixture down the center of the omelet. Using a large spatula, fold half of the omelet over the filling.
Reduce heat to low; cook for 2 minutes or until the cheese melts and the center is set.
Use the large spatula to cut the omelet in half; transfer to serving dishes and top with basil.
Serve with toast, and, if desired, preserves.
