1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese <\/span><\/p>\n

1 T. fresh lemon juice (optional) <\/span><\/p>\n

1 tsp. canola or other vegetable oil <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whisk together the eggs, egg whites, chives or scallions, dill and salt until evenly colored and foamy. In a separate bowl, combine the cottage cheese, watercress, Parmesan, and the lemon juice, and set aside. <\/span><\/p>\n

Heat an 8- or 9-inch nonstick skillet or a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or omelet pan on medium heat. Add the oil and swirl to cover the bottom of the skillet. Pour in the eggs, cover, and cook for about 10 minutes. When the edges of the omelet are firm, the bottom firm, and the center solid, immediately spoon the watercress mixture onto the middle of the omelet. Using a spatula, fold half of the omelet up and over the filling, cover, and reduce heat. After about 2 minutes, turn the omelet to brown the other side. When both sides are browned and the filling is hot, serve immediately.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
