Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
Instructions
Crack the large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the milk, low-fat cottage cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the eggs and cottage cheese are well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is heated, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Let the eggs sit for a few seconds to set slightly, then stir gently with a spatula, pulling the eggs across the pan to form large soft curds.
Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs.
Continue to cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are softly set and the cheese has melted completely.
Remove from heat and transfer the scrambled eggs to a serving plate.
Garnish with chopped green onions before serving hot.
