Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 0.5 cup cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them thoroughly until yolks and whites are fully combined.
Add cottage cheese, salt, and black pepper to the eggs. Stir well to integrate the cottage cheese and seasoning with the eggs.
Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Allow the butter to melt completely but do not let it brown.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds, or until the edges begin to set.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges towards the center. Continue folding the mixture until large, soft curds form.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, continuing to fold and gently stir, until the eggs are just set and creamy. Avoid overcooking to keep the eggs soft and moist.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the scrambled eggs with chopped chives for a fresh burst of flavor.
Serve immediately, while the eggs are warm and fluffy.
