  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, salt and pepper. Stir in the cottage cheese.
  2. Heat the butter over medium heat in a medium skillet.
  3. Carefully pour the whisked eggs and cottage cheese mixture into the center of the pan and allow them to cook without stirring.
  4. When the edges start to set, use a spatula to push the cooked eggs on the outer edges toward the center of the pan. Continue cooking over medium heat, gently pushing the cooked eggs towards the center every few seconds until the eggs are almost cooked through, with a little liquid egg remaining. Total cook time will be about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Serve with chives, tomatoes and toast if desired.

Notes

  • Tip: Don't rush the cooking process. Eggs can get overcooked and rubbery in the blink of an eye.
