Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 ripe avocado
- 0.25 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, add the egg whites, and whisk until fully blended.
Gently fold in the cottage cheese and season with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the egg mixture to the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for a few seconds until it starts to set around the edges.
Using a spatula, gently stir and pull the eggs from the edges to the middle, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges of the pan.
Continue cooking and gently stirring the eggs until they are just set but still slightly runny.
Add the baby spinach to the eggs and fold gently until the leaves are just wilted.
Remove the skillet from the heat and gently stir in the diced avocado and halved cherry tomatoes.
Divide the scrambled eggs onto plates and garnish with fresh chives.
Serve immediately while hot.
