These soft and fluffy scrambled eggs with cottage cheese are packed with over 24 grams of protein. They're rich and cheesy without any actual cheese. The perfect high-protein breakfast!

Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup of cottage cheese 2% or full-fat both work great
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and spray with oil.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and black pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and reduce the heat to low.
- Stir continuously with a silicone spatula, keeping the eggs moving, until they are soft and just beginning to set—about 2 minutes.
- Remove from the pan immediately to prevent overcooking.
- Season with extra salt and pepper if desired. I love serving these creamy scrambled eggs with a slice of toasted and buttered sourdough. Enjoy!
