Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 large eggs Fresh eggs yield better taste.
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese Small curd works best.
  • 1 tablespoon butter Substitute with non-stick cooking spray for a lighter alternative.
  • Salt and pepper To taste.
  • Fresh herbs for garnish Optional: chives, parsley, or cilantro.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until they’re light and frothy.
  2. Gently fold in the cottage cheese with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Cooking
  1. On medium-low heat, add butter to a non-stick skillet and let it melt until it’s bubbly but not browned.
  2. Carefully pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the skillet and allow the eggs to set a bit around the edges.
  3. Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pulling them from the edges towards the center.
  4. Once the eggs are softly set but still slightly runny, remove the skillet from the stove.
Serving
  1. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Cooking over medium-low heat prevents overcooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
