Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup nonfat cottage cheese

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill

  • 2 cup fat-free egg substitute

  • 2 cups frozen broccoli, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

  • 2 teaspoon margarine

  • 1 large onion, diced

Directions

  • Mix the cottage cheese and egg substitute together; set aside.

  • In large nonstick frying pan over medium heat, sauté the onions in oil for 5 minutes, or until soft. Add the broccoli and dill; sauté for 5 minutes, or until the broccoli mixture softens. Set the mixture aside.

  • Wipe out the frying pan. Add 1 teaspoon of margarine and swirl the pan to distribute it. Add half of the vegetable mixture, and then add half of the egg mixture; lift and rotate the pan so that the eggs are evenly distributed.

  • As the eggs set around the edges, lift them to allow uncooked portions to flow underneath. Turn the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook until the top is set. Invert onto a serving plate and cut into wedges. Repeat with the remaining 1 teaspoon of margarine, the vegetable mixture, and the egg mixture.
