Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 large egg whites
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the egg whites. Beat them together with a fork or whisk until well combined.
Stir in the low-fat cottage cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder into the beaten eggs, ensuring everything is evenly mixed.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the fresh spinach, and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the pan with the spinach. Cook them for another minute.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan, gently stirring with a spatula. Continue to cook while stirring occasionally, making sure the eggs are scrambled and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the pan from heat as soon as the eggs are set but still slightly soft. They will continue to cook from the residual heat.
Serve the high-protein scrambled eggs immediately, warm and fluffy.
