Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese (such as Good Culture)
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
For Cooking
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Whisk Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, kosher salt, and fresh ground black pepper using a fork until well combined.
- Heat Skillet: Place a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and spray it lightly with olive oil. Allow the skillet to warm before adding the egg mixture.
- Cook Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the warm skillet. Using a rubber spatula, slowly and gently scrape sections of the eggs towards the center to form soft folds. Continue this process for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, cooking until the eggs are just set but still moist and creamy.
- Serve: Remove the skillet from heat immediately and transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate to serve warm.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust seasoning according to your taste preferences, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
- Do not overcook; the eggs should remain soft and moist.
- Cottage cheese adds protein and a creamy texture, making this a filling breakfast option.
- Olive oil spray helps prevent sticking without adding excess fat.
