Description

Quick, delicious scrambled eggs packed with protein and creamy cottage cheese for a nutritious breakfast.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Fresh ground black pepper
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, cottage cheese, kosher salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and spray it with olive oil.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and gently swirl to spread evenly.
  4. Using a rubber spatula, slowly scrape sections of eggs to the center as the bottom sets, creating soft folds for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes until just set.
  5. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Notes

For fluffier eggs, let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before cooking. Experiment with different add-ins like vegetables or cheese for variety.
