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.
