Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup low-sodium cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and beat them lightly with a whisk or fork until combined.
Add the low-sodium cottage cheese to the beaten eggs and mix well. This will add creaminess and extra protein to the scrambled eggs.
Place a non-stick skillet on the stove over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt completely and coat the bottom of the skillet.
Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the skillet.
Gently stir the mixture occasionally with a spatula, allowing the eggs to cook slowly and evenly.
Sprinkle black pepper over the eggs to taste. Avoid adding salt to keep the dish low in sodium.
Continue cooking and folding the eggs until they are softly set and slightly runny. Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
Garnish the scrambled eggs with freshly chopped chives and dill before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your low sodium scrambled eggs with cottage cheese as a delightful breakfast or brunch.
