Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Cooking Fat
- 1 teaspoon butter, oil, or cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, crack 2 large eggs and add 1/4 cup of cottage cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
- Heat the Pan: Place a small nonstick pan over medium-low heat and add butter, oil, or cooking spray to coat the bottom. Allow it to warm but not heat too aggressively to preserve the creamy texture of the eggs.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the pan. Using a rubber spatula, gently scrape the edges towards the center as the eggs begin to set. Continue to gently stir and fold the eggs to ensure even cooking while keeping the texture soft and creamy. Cook just until fully set but still moist.
- Serve: Remove from heat immediately once the eggs are softly set and creamy. Plate the scrambled eggs and enjoy hot for a delicious, protein-packed breakfast.
Notes
- Use medium-low heat to avoid overcooking and drying out the eggs.
- Whisking the eggs and cottage cheese together well helps create a smooth, creamy texture.
- You can add fresh herbs like chives or parsley for extra flavor.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
- Use a nonstick pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy folding.
