Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup cottage cheese full-fat or low-fat
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Fresh parsley optional, for garnish

Instructions

  • Whisk the eggs – In a bowl, beat the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Heat the pan – Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • Cook the eggs – Pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook gently, stirring with a rubber spatula.
  • Scramble slowly – Move the eggs around slowly, forming soft curds. Cook until set but still creamy (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Serve immediately – Remove from heat while the eggs are still slightly soft. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for a richer, creamier texture.
  • Low and slow cooking ensures soft, fluffy scrambled eggs.
  • Add veggies like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra flavor.
  • Pairs perfectly with toast, avocado, or bacon for a complete breakfast.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
