Try scrambled eggs with cottage cheese as a healthy breakfast idea! The cheese adds protein and irresistibly savory flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 eggs*
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoon butter
  • Finely chopped chives, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, crack the eggs. Whisk them together until well-beaten and foamy. Stir in the cottage cheese, kosher salt and a few grinds fresh ground black pepper.
  2. In a skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Tilt the pan to ensure the surface is coated in the melted butter. Pour in the eggs.
  3. Keep the heat on medium. When the eggs just start to set, use a flat spatula to slowly scrape sections of eggs, creating folds. Scrape occasionally until the eggs form soft folds, about 1 to 2 minutes total. Remove from the heat just before they are fully hardened. If desired, garnish with chives and serve immediately.

Notes

*The added cottage cheese helps to stretch the servings. Double for 3 large or 4 medium servings.
