Print Recipe

A fast, healthy, and protein-packed microwave egg white omelette with creamy cottage cheese and zesty salsa, perfect for busy mornings or a quick snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large egg whites (about 1/2 cup or 120 ml)
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) small-curd cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons salsa (mild, medium, or spicy)
  • A pinch of salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil or cooking spray, to grease the dish
  • Optional: Fresh chopped herbs like cilantro or parsley

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease a microwave-safe bowl or ramekin with olive oil or cooking spray.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk 4 large egg whites until slightly frothy.
  3. Stir in 1/4 cup cottage cheese, 2 tablespoons salsa, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix gently to combine.
  4. Pour the mixture into the greased bowl. Cover loosely with a microwave-safe lid or plate to avoid splatter.
  5. Microwave on high for 1 minute 30 seconds. Check the omelette; if the edges are set but the center is still jiggly, microwave for an additional 20-30 seconds as needed.
  6. Carefully remove the cover, fold the omelette in half or slide onto a plate.
  7. Garnish with extra salsa or fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

If your microwave cooks unevenly, pause halfway through to stir gently. Avoid overcooking to prevent rubbery texture. Use small-curd cottage cheese for best creaminess. Optional add-ins include diced veggies or fresh herbs. For dairy-free, substitute cottage cheese with blended silken tofu.
