Ingredients

2 large eggs
¼ cup cottage cheese
pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes as you prepare the egg mixture. Starting with a warm skillet will make the eggs less likely to stick to your pan.
Crack the eggs into a small bowl, then add in the cottage cheese and a generous pinch of salt. Use a fork to whisk until the mixture looks creamy.
Grease the pan with spray oil or butter, then pour the mixture into the hot pan. Let the eggs cook for about 1 minute, undisturbed. As soon as the edges start to look like they are cooking, drag a rubber spatula through the eggs, gently stirring them around the pan.
Continue stirring, as needed, until the eggs are cooked through. Just like traditional scrambled eggs, you can cook these as soft or firm as you like. Serve the eggs warm right away with fresh herbs on top, if desired.

Notes

Nutrition information is for the whole batch. This information is automatically calculated using generic ingredients, so it's just an estimate and not a guarantee.

Note: For a more filling breakfast, feel free to add another egg or some egg whites to the mix. This recipe is easy to customize!

Cottage Cheese Note: I tested this recipe with full-fat cottage cheese, which has 4% milkfat. For comparison, cheddar cheese is often 35% fat. This makes cottage cheese a lower-fat option for "cheesy eggs." Feel free to use a lower-fat cottage cheese if you prefer, but the results may not be as creamy.
