Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons skim milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 spray cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs, add the skim milk, salt, and pepper, and whisk together until thoroughly blended.
Fold in the low-fat cottage cheese until well combined with the egg mixture.
Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds or until the edges begin to set.
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, scraping from the edges toward the center. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally until the eggs are just set but still moist and creamy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped chives over the eggs, gently folding them in before serving.
Serve immediately, enjoying your healthy and delicious low-fat scrambled eggs with cottage cheese.
