Notes
If there is a trick to this recipe, it is to really shake the container of egg beaters before you pour them into the pan. This will help get a really fluffy texture.
Omelettes are best eaten hot. I do not recommend trying to reheat an already-cooked omelette.
If your cottage cheese is very wet, you may want to consider straining off some of the liquid.
If you use egg whites, make sure that you whip them so that they are frothy and airy before putting them in the pan (but don’t whip them to soft or stiff peaks).
