Description
Light and fluffy scrambled eggs enhanced with cottage cheese for extra creaminess and protein — perfect for quick breakfasts or post-workout meals.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese (small or medium curd)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for the pan)
- Toast (optional, for serving)
- Greens or fruit (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the cottage cheese, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Whisk until the mixture looks creamy and slightly uniform.
- Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil or butter. Swirl to coat the pan.
- Pour the egg-cottage cheese mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan so it spreads evenly.
- Using a spatula, stir gently and slowly. Fold the eggs rather than scraping aggressively — this preserves soft curds. Cook for about 3–5 minutes, stopping when the eggs are just set but still moist.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve immediately with toast, a handful of greens, or fruit.
Notes
Finish off-heat to avoid overcooking. It’s adaptable; try adding herbs or spices based on your taste.
