Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 3 large eggs (~150g)
- 1/4 cup (60g) full-fat cottage cheese
Cooking
- 1 tablespoon (14g) butter
Seasoning & Optional Add-ins
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh herbs (chives or parsley)
- Optional: shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
- Optional: cooked bacon or sausage bits
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: Crack 3 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add 1/4 cup (60g) full-fat cottage cheese and whisk vigorously with a fork or whisk until the mixture is mostly smooth with small curds visible.
- Heat the skillet: Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon (14g) butter. Let the butter melt gently until it is foaming but not browned, ensuring a nonstick surface for cooking.
- Cook the eggs: Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the skillet. Allow it to sit undisturbed for about 20 seconds until the edges begin to set.
- Scramble gently: Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs by pushing them from the edges toward the center. Continue stirring every 20-30 seconds, scraping the bottom and sides of the skillet to cook evenly, until the eggs are mostly cooked but still glossy and soft, about 2-3 minutes.
- Season and serve: Season the scrambled eggs with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir in optional fresh herbs, shredded cheese, or cooked bacon or sausage bits if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for creamier texture and richer flavor.
- Cooking on medium-low heat helps prevent overcooking and keeps eggs soft and creamy.
- Customize the dish by adding your favorite cheese or fresh herbs for extra taste.
- For added protein and flavor, consider mixing in cooked bacon or sausage bits.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
