Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

Much more of a meal than your standard omelet. Butter-sauteed onions and mushrooms mixed with cottage cheese forms a filling, creamy inside for the folded eggs. Fantastic for a last-minute fix.

2 ounces large shiitake mushrooms
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided
1 small onion, finely chopped
2/3 cup cottage cheese
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Remove stems from mushrooms; discard. Slice mushroom caps.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add mushrooms and onion, and cook, stirring constantly, until tender. Transfer to a bowl, and stir in cottage cheese.
Combine eggs, salt, and pepper in a bowl; beat lightly with a fork.
Melt remaining 1 tbsp. butter in a 10 inch omelet pan or nonstick skillet, rotating pan to coat bottom evenly. Add egg mixture.
As mixture starts to cook, gently lift edges of omelet with a spatula, and tilt pan so uncooked portion flows underneath.
Spoon mushroom mixture onto omelet; fold in half, and transfer to a serving plate. Cut omelet in half to serve. Serve immediately.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

I honestly never had thought to put cottage cheese on an omelet! Brilliant! This recipe was really tasty and a nice change from normal omelet fillings.
