Ingredients
- 4 large eggs

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.
