Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
For Cooking
- Butter, oil, or cooking spray (as needed for the pan)
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, combine the eggs and cottage cheese. Season well with salt and black pepper to your preference. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy to incorporate air for fluffiness.
- Heat the Pan: Place a small nonstick pan over medium-low heat and add butter, oil, or cooking spray to coat the bottom. Allow it to melt or heat evenly to prevent the eggs from sticking.
- Cook the Scrambled Eggs: Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the heated pan. As the eggs begin to set at the edges, use a rubber spatula to gently scrape and fold the eggs from the edges toward the center. Continue this gentle stirring and folding until the eggs are fully cooked but still retain a soft, creamy texture without drying out.
- Serve: Remove the pan from heat immediately once cooked to your liking. Plate the scrambled eggs and enjoy while warm for a creamy and protein-rich breakfast.
Notes
- Cooking on medium-low heat is crucial for soft, creamy scrambled eggs.
- Use a nonstick pan for easy cooking and cleanup.
- You can substitute cottage cheese with ricotta for a similar texture.
- Adjust seasoning as per taste—optional additions include chives or paprika.
- Serve with toast or fresh vegetables for a complete meal.
