Microwave Cottage Cheese Omelette another recipe to add to my collection of Microwave Recipes, a variation of my Microwave Vegetable Omelette, thinner, a sort of crepe filled then with baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, and cheeses, but you can fill it as you prefer!
I’ve cooked numerous omelets in the microwave, like my Microwave Omelette Roll or the Microwave Potato Omelette. This omelette is based on cottage cheese, so more similar to the Microwave Ricotta Omelette, just thinner, but you can double the quantities to get a thicker omelette to eat as is, even without filling it.
