Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese recommended: Good Culture
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • olive oil spray for cooking

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Whisk or fork
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Begin by cracking the 4 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the 1/2 cup of cottage cheese, 1/8 teaspoon of kosher salt, and a generous sprinkle of fresh ground black pepper.
  2. Using a whisk or a fork, beat the eggs and cottage cheese together until they are fully combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Spray your non-stick skillet with olive oil spray and place it over medium heat. Allow the skillet to warm up for a minute or two.
  4. Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds, allowing the edges to start setting.
  5. Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing the cooked edges toward the center while tilting the skillet to allow the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
  6. Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat.
  7. Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate and serve immediately, adding toppings as desired.

Notes

  • Choose cottage cheese brands with simple ingredients and no added sugars.
  • Cook eggs over medium-low heat for creamier texture.
  • Add cooked turkey bacon or diced chicken for extra protein.
