Ingredients
Ingredients:
3 large eggs
1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
Chopped chives and ground black pepper (optional for serving)
Instructions
Instructions:
-
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and cottage cheese until well combined.
-
Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter, swirling to coat the pan. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the egg mixture.
-
As the edges of the eggs begin to set, gently push the cooked edges toward the center of the pan using a rubber spatula.
-
Continue cooking, gently stirring and breaking up any large clumps, until the eggs are nearly set but still slightly wet (3-5 minutes).
-
Turn off the heat and let the eggs finish cooking with residual heat in the pan until soft and fully cooked.
-
Serve immediately with a sprinkle of chopped chives and black pepper, if desired.
Notes
- For added flavor, try mixing in diced veggies like tomatoes or spinach, or sprinkle with your favorite cheese.
- Customize the seasoning with garlic powder, paprika, or fresh herbs like parsley or thyme.
