Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Dairy
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons low-fat cottage cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with oil or butter if desired, especially if the skillet is not a non-stick surface, to prevent eggs from sticking.
- Mix eggs and cottage cheese: Crack the 4 eggs into a bowl and add the 2 tablespoons of low-fat cottage cheese. Beat gently to combine the ingredients.
- Cook the eggs: Pour the egg and cheese mixture into the hot skillet. Using a heavy spatula, preferably silicone, continuously move and scrape the eggs around the pan to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking. As the eggs thicken, gather them into one lump and continue stirring until they reach your preferred firmness, about 3-4 minutes in total.
- Serve and garnish: Transfer the cooked scrambled eggs to a plate. Season with salt, pepper, and optionally garnish with fresh herbs to taste. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- You can use a non-stick skillet to reduce the need for greasing the pan.
- For added flavor, fresh herbs such as chives, parsley, or dill can be used as garnish.
- Cooking gently and continuously stirring ensures soft and creamy scrambled eggs.
- Low-fat cottage cheese adds protein without adding excessive fat.
