Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup 2 percent cottage cheese
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- Olive oil spray, for greasing the pan

- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, cottage cheese, kosher salt, and black pepper until well blended.

- Pour the eggs into the pan and let them sit for a few moments until they start to set.
