Cottage cheese is a fermented milk product that contains a huge amount of useful substances. It contains protein, a full set of essential amino acids, and in terms of calcium content, the product is the leader among other dairy products. For this reason, cottage cheese is an ideal choice for medical and dietary nutrition. Steamed omelet with cottage cheese and served for breakfast will energize and give you a feeling of fullness until lunchtime.
For the recipe, choose white or slightly creamy cottage cheese. A yellow tint indicates that the product is not the first freshness. The smell of a fresh product should be milky with a slight sourness. A distinctive feature of fresh cottage cheese is a slightly sour taste. The sweet taste indicates that sugar was added to hide the staleness. And the tasteless product is of poor quality. The consistency of a good product is uniform and slightly oily. Grainy, overdried and too runny cottage cheese is expired. Eggs also play an equally important role. It is preferable to use fresh homemade eggs for the omelet. To check the freshness, shake the egg: the contents of the egg dangle, which means it is not fresh. The shell should be smooth without cracks.
