Equipment

  • 1 Non-stick skillet
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Whisk or fork
  • 1 spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
  • Fresh herbs (chives, parsley, or dill) for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy. This helps incorporate air, making your scrambled eggs fluffier
  • Add the Cottage Cheese: Gently fold in the cottage cheese until it's evenly distributed. This will make your scrambled eggs creamy and delicious.
  • Heat the Skillet: Place your non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter or olive oil. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
  • Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit for a few seconds until the edges start to set. Then, using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, allowing uncooked eggs to flow to the edges. Repeat this until the eggs are softly set but still slightly runny—about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Finish Cooking: Remove the skillet from the heat. The residual heat will continue to cook the eggs. If desired, sprinkle fresh herbs over the top for added flavor.
  • Serve Immediately: Plate your cottage cheese scrambled eggs while they're still warm, and enjoy with toast or a side of fresh fruit!

Notes

  • Feel free to customize this recipe by adding vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for extra nutrients.
  • You can also swap out the cottage cheese for ricotta or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but fresh is always best!
