Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large Eggs – Fresh eggs for best flavor and texture.
- ½ cup Cottage Cheese – Use smooth, creamy cottage cheese.
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- ⅛ teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
For Cooking
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter – For cooking the eggs.
Instructions
- Gather Your Ingredients. Begin by collecting all necessary ingredients: eggs, cottage cheese, salt, black pepper, and unsalted butter.
- Beat the Eggs. Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and beat them gently until fully blended and uniform in color.
- Add Cottage Cheese and Seasoning. Fold in the smooth cottage cheese along with salt and ground black pepper. Mix gently to combine without breaking up the curds too much.
- Heat the Pan. Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the unsalted butter, ensuring the entire surface is evenly coated to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Eggs. Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to begin setting. Then, gently stir and fold the eggs slowly, allowing them to cook until soft, creamy, and slightly runny, ensuring they remain tender.
- Serve Immediately. Remove the skillet from heat and promptly plate the scrambled eggs. Garnish with optional fresh herbs or additional black pepper as desired for extra flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality eggs and smooth cottage cheese for best texture and taste.
- Cook over medium-low heat to prevent the eggs from drying out or browning.
- Do not overcook; scrambled eggs with cottage cheese should remain soft and slightly creamy.
- Feel free to add fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or dill for added flavor.
- This recipe scales easily for more servings by maintaining the egg to cottage cheese ratio.
