Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 100 grams cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Add the cottage cheese to the egg mixture, and whisk together until well incorporated.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, whisking again to ensure even distribution.
Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat, and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely and coat the pan evenly.
Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the pan.
Allow the eggs to set slightly around the edges and gently stir with a spatula, pulling the cooked edges towards the center of the pan.
Continue to cook the eggs, gently stirring and folding, until they are cooked to your preferred level of doneness. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the scrambled eggs from the heat and garnish with fresh chives.
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your low-carb scrambled eggs with cottage cheese.
