Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large large eggs
  • 0.5 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter Use either based on preference.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until well beaten.
  2. Stir in the cottage cheese along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well until combined.
  3. In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Ensure it’s hot but not smoking.
  4. Gently pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the skillet. Let it sit for a few seconds until the edges begin to set.
  5. Using a spatula, start to gently stir the eggs from the edges to the center, forming curds. Keep stirring until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft and creamy, usually around 3-5 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and scoop onto plates. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy your delicious scrambled eggs!

Notes

Store leftover scrambled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 30 seconds, stirring halfway through.
