Egg and Cottage Cheese Scramble
Egg and Cottage Cheese Scramble
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese, small curd, 2% or 4% fat
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the large eggs, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
⏱️ 2 min - 2
Heat the unsalted butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Once the butter is melted and shimmering, pour in the egg mixture.
⏱️ 1 min - 3
As the eggs begin to set around the edges, gently push them from the edges towards the center of the skillet with a rubber spatula. Continue to gently fold and push the eggs, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath.
⏱️ 3 min - 4
When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist, add the cottage cheese to the skillet. Gently fold the cottage cheese into the eggs until just combined and warmed through. Do not overcook; the eggs should still be soft and creamy.
⏱️ 1 min - 5
Remove the skillet from the heat immediately. Serve the scramble hot, garnished with fresh chopped chives if desired.
