Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 2 stalks green onions
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs with salt and black pepper until well blended.
Stir in the cottage cheese until well combined with the egg mixture.
Chop the spinach, cherry tomatoes, and green onions into bite-sized pieces.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute until it begins to wilt.
Reduce the heat to low, then pour in the egg and cottage cheese mixture.
Using a spatula, gently stir the mixture as it begins to set, cooking the eggs softly for about 3 to 4 minutes.
After the eggs have started to firm up but are still slightly runny, add the cherry tomatoes and green onions.
Continue to cook, gently stirring, until the eggs are fully cooked but still moist, about 2 more minutes.
Serve immediately with your choice of toast or as a standalone protein-rich dish garnished with additional green onions if desired.
