Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1 tsp butter or oil
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup of cottage cheese, salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of butter or oil. Ensure you have a non-stick skillet ready for cooking.
- In a small bowl, crack the 2 large eggs. Use a fork or a whisk to beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined. This should take about 30 seconds.
- Add the 1/4 cup of cottage cheese to the beaten eggs. Mix gently to combine, ensuring the cottage cheese is evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
- Season the mixture with a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper according to your taste preferences. Stir again to incorporate the seasoning.
- Place your non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of butter or oil. Allow the butter to melt or the oil to heat up, ensuring it coats the bottom of the skillet evenly.
- Once the skillet is hot, pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, allowing the edges to set slightly.
- Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges toward the center. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are softly set but still slightly creamy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat when the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency. Remember, they will continue to cook slightly from residual heat.
- Serve the scrambled eggs with cottage cheese immediately on a plate. You can add additional salt and pepper to taste if desired. Enjoy your high-protein breakfast!
Tips
- Use fresh, room temperature eggs for the smoothest texture and most even cooking.
- Gently fold the cottage cheese into the eggs to create delightful creamy pockets throughout the dish.
- Cook on medium heat to prevent burning and achieve a soft, creamy consistency.
- Don't overmix the eggs while cooking - this helps maintain a tender texture.
- Remove the eggs from heat just before they look completely done, as they'll continue to cook from residual heat.
- For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like chives, parsley, or a sprinkle of fresh dill.
- Use a non-stick skillet to ensure easy cooking and minimal cleanup.
- For a luxurious touch, use high-quality, full-fat cottage cheese for maximum creaminess.
