Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 5 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • Kosher salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the egg mixture: Place the eggs and cottage cheese into a bowl. Sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper according to your taste. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the eggs and cottage cheese are well combined and smooth.
  2. Heat the pan: Place a large non-stick pan over medium-low heat and add the olive oil, allowing it to warm up gently without smoking.
  3. Cook the scrambled eggs: Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the heated pan. Begin to gently scramble the eggs by stirring them slowly with a spatula, cooking to your preferred level of doneness. The mixture should be soft, creamy, and lightly set.
  4. Serve: Once cooked, transfer the scrambled eggs to plates and serve warm. Optionally, accompany with fresh vegetables for a balanced meal.

Notes

  • Use low-fat or regular cottage cheese depending on your calorie preference.
  • For a richer flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like chives or parsley.
  • Be careful cooking on medium-low heat to prevent the eggs from browning excessively.
  • This dish pairs well with whole grain toast or fresh fruit for a complete breakfast.
