Step 1:

How do you make a cottage cheese omelet? Start by gathering your ingredients. Any milk works here; swap in cream for an even richer result, though it will bump up the calories. Use regular cottage cheese, or small-curd like I did. A little finely chopped chili pepper adds a nice kick, or use sweet bell pepper instead. Season to taste. I went with paprika and curry powder.
Step 2:

Rinse and dry the fresh herbs, then chop them finely with a knife. Use whatever herbs you like or have on hand.
Step 3:

If you're adding chili pepper, chop it finely. Scrape out the seeds to keep the heat in check.
Step 4:

Wash the eggs well, crack them into a bowl, and whisk with a fork or whisk until smooth. Add the herbs, chili, spices, and salt, then stir to combine.
Step 5:

Pour in the milk and stir.
Step 6:

Add the cornstarch. Either cornstarch or potato starch works fine.
Step 7:

Add the cottage cheese and stir the mixture well until smooth.
Step 8:

Pour the egg-and-milk mixture into a well-heated skillet coated with vegetable oil (butter works too).
Step 9:

Cook the omelet over low heat for about 5 minutes. Then turn off the heat, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it sit for 1 minute to finish setting. Serve and enjoy!

Always wash your eggs before using them, since even a shell that looks clean can carry harmful bacteria. A food-safe wash and a brush work best.
The right skillet matters. The wrong pan can ruin even the best recipe, so choose one suited to what you're cooking.
Every oil is good for cooking only up to a certain point, its smoke point, beyond which it starts to burn and form harmful compounds. Pick an oil with a high enough smoke point for frying and keep the heat below that threshold.
