Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

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.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.

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.
