High Protein Scrambled Eggs with Cottage Cheese
Description
Combining large eggs with cottage cheese before cooking results in scrambled eggs that are moist and slightly creamy without being runny. The mixture is gently cooked in a nonstick pan sprayed with olive oil, ensuring soft curds form without overcooking. The folding technique used during cooking helps develop tender folds rather than dry, crumbly eggs.
This method offers a nutritious option by incorporating cottage cheese, which contributes protein and moisture, changing the usual scrambled egg texture. It is lightly seasoned with kosher salt and black pepper to enhance the natural flavors.
These eggs can be served alone or accompanied by toast, vegetables, or other breakfast favorites. The gentle cooking over medium-low heat helps retain a delicate, moist consistency suitable for those preferring soft scrambled eggs.
Ingredients
- 4 egg large
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese I like Good Culture, 2%
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- black pepper fresh ground
- olive oil spray form
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, cottage cheese, kosher salt and black pepper, to taste with a fork.
- Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and spray with oil. When warm, pour the eggs in.
- Using a rubber spatula, slowly scrape sections of eggs to the center of the pan as the bottom starts to set, creating soft folds for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes total until just set.
- Remove from the heat and serve.
