Cottage Cheese Eggs
These Cottage Cheese Eggs are a creamy, high protein twist on classic scrambled eggs that come together in under 10 minutes with just a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup 2% cottage cheese
- pinch sea salt
- black pepper
- olive oil
- 1-2 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- freshly chopped chives
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, cottage cheese, salt and black pepper, to taste with a fork.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium-low heat and add oil. When warm, pour the eggs in.
- Using a rubber spatula, scrape sections of eggs to the center of the pan as the bottom starts to set, creating soft folds for about 1 ½ to 2 minutes total until just set. Just before serving, add the cheese in and gently fold in until melted.
Notes
Note: for added nutrients feel free to mix in chopped or diced vegetables of choice! I love adding a handful of spinach
