Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup (80 grams) cottage cheese
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
Cooking
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper until fully combined. For a smoother texture, you can briefly blend the mixture in a blender, although this step is optional.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter until it becomes foamy, ensuring the skillet is uniformly coated.
- Cook the Eggs: Carefully pour the egg mixture into the heated skillet. Using a rubber spatula, gently scramble the eggs by stirring slowly, allowing large, fluffy curds to form. Continue cooking until the eggs are set but still soft and creamy.
- Serve: Transfer the cooked scrambled eggs to a plate immediately to prevent overcooking. Serve warm as a nutritious and delicious breakfast option.
Notes
- Do not overcook the eggs to maintain a creamy texture.
- You can swap unsalted butter with olive oil or a butter substitute if preferred.
- Optional blending of eggs and cottage cheese results in a smoother texture but may reduce fluffiness.
- Season with additional herbs like chives or parsley for extra flavor.
