Ingredients
4 large eggs
1/3 cup cottage cheese
1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (optional)
pinch chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Whisk until yolks and whites are fully blended. Add salt and pepper.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat. Add butter or oil and let it melt completely, coating the pan.
3. Pour in the whisked eggs. Let them sit briefly before gently stirring with a silicone spatula.
4. When eggs are about 70% cooked and still glossy, fold in the cottage cheese. Stir gently to combine.
5. Remove from heat while still soft. The eggs will finish cooking with residual heat.
6. Garnish with fresh herbs or chili flakes if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
For fluffier eggs, whisk thoroughly to incorporate air before cooking.
Always use low heat—scrambling slowly creates that creamy texture.
Add the cottage cheese late to avoid watering down the scramble.
