Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon butter or olive oil

Optional Add-ins

  • Fresh herbs (parsley, chives, dill) for garnish
  • Diced tomatoes, spinach, or mushrooms (for veggie boost)
  • Feta, mozzarella, or cheddar cheese (for cheese variations)
  • Smoked paprika, chili flakes, or garlic powder (for spice)
  • Avocado slices, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the cottage cheese along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk gently to combine, maintaining some chunkiness from the cottage cheese for texture.
  2. Heat Your Pan: Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter or olive oil. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly to prevent sticking.
  3. Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for a few moments, then gently stir with a spatula, forming soft curds. Continue cooking while stirring occasionally until eggs are fluffy and softly set.
  4. Finish and Serve: Remove from heat when eggs are just cooked but still moist. Sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired, and season again with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with optional garnishes or sides.

Notes

  • Choose full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture and richest flavor.
  • Whisk gently to keep egg curds tender and avoid rubbery texture.
  • Cook over medium to low heat to ensure creamy, soft results without browning.
  • Use fresh eggs for best flavor and texture.
  • Add salt at the end to keep eggs tender and prevent them from becoming watery.
