Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of pepper
Garnish (Optional)
- 1 teaspoon sliced chives
- Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk the Eggs: Briskly whisk the 2 eggs in a bowl using a fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture is uniform. Then whisk in 1/4 cup cottage cheese just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat a small or medium skillet over medium heat until hot. Pour in the egg and cottage cheese mixture. Let it sit undisturbed for about one minute, then gently stir occasionally with a spatula to prevent sticking. Continue cooking for approximately 2 minutes or until eggs reach your desired doneness.
- Serve: Remove from heat and plate the eggs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Optionally sprinkle with sliced chives or sesame seeds. Serve plain or alongside toast for a complete meal.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs and high-quality cottage cheese for best flavor and texture.
- Adjust cooking time to your preferred level of egg doneness.
- Add a side of whole grain toast or fresh fruit to round out the meal.
- Chives add a mild onion flavor but can be omitted or substituted with other fresh herbs.
- For a fluffier texture, you can separate egg whites and whisk them before folding in the yolks and cottage cheese.
