Equipment

We used a Le Creuset non-stick frying pan to make the omelette.

Ingredients

½ cup cottage cheese
1 tsp butter
3 eggs
½ cup fresh peas shelled & blanched
1 tbsp Superb Herb Mint chopped
1 ½ tbsp store-bought basil pesto
salt & black pepper

Instructions

In a bowl whisk the eggs and cottage cheese together. Season with salt and pepper. Fold in the chopped mint.
Melt butter in a nonstick frying pan over medium to high heat. Fry the peas for a minute.
Pour in egg mixture, titling and moving the frying pan so the mixture covers the entire surface.
Loosen a couple of times with a spatula so any uncooked egg can run into the centre.
Carefully fold in half, slide onto a plate, drizzle with pesto and eat while hot.
