Omelet Three Layer Vegetable

This recipe may look large, but it is so good! It takes about 30 minutes to cook everything up, but well worth the effort. As I always say, I love traditional recipes with a twist, and this is definitely one of them.

SAUTE TOGETHER
1 tsp margarine
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup broccoli
1/2 cup red pepper
1/2 cup carrot, shredded
1/3 cup green onions

COTTAGE CHEESE MIXTURE
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 tbsp bread crumbs
1 tbsp Parmesan cheese
1.2 tsp Italian seasoning

EGG MIXTURE
1 1/2 tsp margarine
1 1/2 Real Egg Product

ON TOP
1/4 cup cottage cheese
1/3 cup tomatoes, chopped
Parsley (best if fresh)

Chop all vegetables into bite size pieces, and set aside.

In a Pan, on med-high, heat 1 tsp margarine. Add garlic, and other vegetables that need to be "sauteed together", until tender. Pour into a bowl, and mix in all ingredients in the "cottage cheese mixture".

In same pan, on med, heat 1/2 tsp margarine. Add 1/2 cup egg product. Cook until almost set. Slide out Egg Mixture onto a oven safe platter.
Top with 1/2 vegetable/cottage cheese mixture.

For a second time, in the same pan, on med, heat 1/2 tsp margarine. Add 1/2 cup egg product. Cook until almost set. Slide out Egg mixture, onto top of previously spread out vegetable mixture. Top with remaining vegetable/cottage cheese mixture.

For a third time, in the same pan, on med, heat 1/2 tsp margarine. Add 1/2 cup egg product. Cook until almost set. Slide out Egg mixture, onto top of previously spread out vegetable mixture. Top with cottage cheese, then sprinkle with tomatoes.

Place in oven at 425 for 5 minutes.
