Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup cottage cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the milk. Whisk together until the mixture is homogenous and slightly frothy.
Add the cottage cheese to the egg mixture and continue to whisk until combined. This will increase the protein content and make the scrambled eggs creamy.
Season the egg mixture with salt and ground black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Use a spatula to gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges to the center as they begin to set.
Continue to cook and gently stir until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the residual heat to finish cooking the eggs until they are fully set.
Transfer the scrambled eggs onto serving plates and garnish with chopped chives before serving.
