Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup (59 milliliters) cottage cheese
Cooking Fats:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) butter
Seasonings and Garnish:
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional)
Instructions
- Combine eggs in a mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly until a uniform texture emerges.
- Gently fold cottage cheese into the whisked eggs, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
- Warm a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, allowing butter to melt and coat the cooking surface.
- Carefully transfer the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the prepared skillet.
- Using a soft spatula, continuously stir and fold the eggs, creating soft, billowy curds while maintaining a low, consistent heat.
- Monitor the cooking process closely, removing the skillet from heat when eggs appear creamy and barely set but not dry.
- Sprinkle freshly ground salt and cracked black pepper across the surface for enhanced flavor profile.
- Garnish with finely chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley to add a vibrant, aromatic finish.
- Serve immediately while eggs remain warm and luxuriously creamy, accompanied by toast or your preferred breakfast side.
Notes
- Use low heat to prevent eggs from overcooking and maintain a silky, soft texture.
- Incorporate cottage cheese gently to create pockets of creamy, tangy goodness throughout the scramble.
- Choose full-fat cottage cheese for richer flavor and smoother consistency.
- Skip butter and use olive oil for a dairy-free or vegan alternative by substituting tofu or plant-based cottage cheese.
