Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- ¼ cup small curd cottage cheese
Cooking Fats:
- 1 tablespoon butter
Seasonings and Optional Toppings:
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- Chopped chives (optional)
- Parsley (optional)
- Avocado slices (optional)
- Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Crack 4 large eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them thoroughly with ¼ cup small curd cottage cheese. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and fresh ground black pepper into the mixture.
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat (set to 300°F). Add 1 tablespoon butter and allow it to melt completely, coating the entire pan surface.
- Gently pour the entire egg and cottage cheese blend into the heated skillet. Let the mixture rest for 20-30 seconds without stirring.
- Use a silicone spatula to softly fold the eggs from the outer edges toward the center. Move slowly and carefully to create soft, creamy curds.
- Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes at 300°F, stirring intermittently until eggs look mostly set but remain slightly moist and glossy.
- Remove the skillet from heat immediately. The residual warmth will continue cooking the eggs to a perfect creamy consistency.
- Transfer scrambled eggs to a warm plate. Sprinkle fresh chopped chives or parsley on top for added color and flavor. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Cottage cheese adds extra protein and creates a lighter, fluffier texture compared to traditional scrambled eggs.
- Use low heat to prevent eggs from becoming tough or rubbery, which helps maintain a soft, creamy consistency.
- Fresh herbs like chives or dill can brighten the flavor and add a beautiful pop of color to your finished dish.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cottage cheese with silken tofu or a plant-based alternative to keep the creamy texture.
