Description

A nutritious and creamy scrambled eggs dish enhanced with cottage cheese for an extra protein boost, perfect for breakfast or brunch.


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

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, cottage cheese, kosher salt, and black pepper until well blended.
  2. Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium low heat and spray with oil.
  3. Pour the eggs into the pan and let them sit for a few moments until they start to set.
  4. Using a rubber spatula, slowly scrape the eggs to the center of the pan as they cook, creating soft folds for about 1.5 to 2 minutes until just set.
  5. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Notes

For creamier eggs, use full-fat cottage cheese and season well before cooking. Serve with avocado or whole-grain toast.
