Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 6 large eggs beaten
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives chopped
- Ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, cottage cheese and salt until well combined.
- Melt the butter in a medium sized skillet over medium heat.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
- Cook the eggs without stirring until the bottom of the eggs starts to firm up, around 2 minutes.
- Using a spatula scrape the cooked eggs off the bottom of the pan, letting the raw eggs through to the bottom to cook. Continue to cook until the eggs are almost done.
- Add in the chives, then cook for the last minute or two, folding the chives into the eggs while cooking.
- Serve with additional salt and pepper.

Notes
- Eggs will turn rubbery if you scramble them too much, try to just turn and flip the eggs over to cook
