Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add salt and black pepper to taste, then whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined and frothy.
Gently fold in the cottage cheese using a spatula, ensuring it is evenly distributed without breaking it down completely.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and swirl the pan to coat the surface evenly as the butter melts.
Once the butter is fully melted and begins to bubble slightly, reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the pan.
Let the mixture sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then use a spatula to gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked portions to flow outwards. Repeat this process until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly glossy.
Remove the skillet from heat, as the eggs will continue to cook from residual heat. This ensures they remain soft and tender.
Transfer the scrambled eggs to plates, garnish with chopped fresh chives if desired, and serve immediately.
