Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese (such as Good Culture)
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Cooking
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup of 2% cottage cheese, 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt, and fresh ground black pepper to taste until thoroughly blended.
- Heat Skillet: Place a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and spray with olive oil. Allow the skillet to warm before adding the eggs.
- Cook Eggs: Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the warmed skillet. Using a rubber spatula, slowly scrape sections of the eggs toward the center as the bottom begins to set, creating soft folds. Continue this gentle folding process for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes until the eggs are just set but still soft and creamy.
- Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking and serve the scrambled eggs warm.
Notes
- Use medium-low heat to avoid browning the eggs — the goal is creamy, soft scrambled eggs.
- Freshly ground black pepper adds the best flavor, but adjust seasoning according to your preference.
- 2% cottage cheese can be substituted with other fat levels, but 2% balances creaminess and nutrition well.
- Olive oil spray helps prevent sticking without adding too much fat.
- This recipe yields a creamy texture by gently folding rather than stirring vigorously.
