Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 large egg whites
- 10 whole cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the egg whites. Beat the eggs and whites together until well combined, then stir in the low-fat cottage cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and set aside. Chop the green onions and fresh basil finely.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced tomatoes, cooking them until they start to soften, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the skillet with the tomatoes. Gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges to the center, allowing them to cook evenly.
Continue to cook the eggs, stirring occasionally, until they reach your desired consistency (typically 4-5 minutes for soft, fluffy scrambled eggs).
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat, and sprinkle the chopped green onions and fresh basil over the eggs.
Serve immediately, garnishing with additional fresh basil, if desired.
