Description
A simple and protein-packed recipe for Cottage Cheese Scrambled Eggs, combining creamy cottage cheese with fluffy scrambled eggs for a nutritious and delicious breakfast or brunch option.
Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
For Cooking
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat the pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Let it melt and coat the pan evenly without browning.
- Cook the eggs: Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges to the center. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are softly set and creamy.
- Serve hot: Remove from heat just before the eggs are fully firm to retain their creamy texture. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese depending on your preference for richer or lighter taste.
- Cook the eggs slowly on medium-low heat to prevent overcooking and keep them moist and tender.
- This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled for more servings.
- Add fresh herbs such as chives or parsley for extra flavor.
