Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- ⅔ cup cottage cheese 2% MF
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter unsalted
Instructions
- In a bowl or large measuring cup, add the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper. Beat the egg mixture together with a fork or whisk with a whisk to combine.
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the egg mixture.
- Gently and slowly stir the eggs with a rubber spatula to make fluffy scrambled eggs. Fold the eggs within themselves. When the eggs are mostly cooked, it should look custard-like, remove from heat. The residual heat from the pan will finish cooking the eggs and keep them fluffy. This shouldn’t take more than 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and serve.
