Ingredients

  • 2 Eggs
  • ¼ cup Cottage cheese about 60g
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • Black pepper optional, to taste
  • 1 tsp Butter or oil

Instructions

  • Blend eggs. Add the eggs, cottage cheese, and salt to a blender. Blend until mostly smooth; a few small lumps are fine.
    2 Eggs, ¼ cup Cottage cheese, 1 pinch Salt
  • Heat pan. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter or oil. Let it melt and lightly coat the pan.
    1 tsp Butter or oil
  • Cook and stir. Pour in the egg mixture. Let it sit briefly, then stir often with a spatula, scraping along the bottom and edges as the mixture thickens.
  • Adjust as needed. The eggs will set fairly quickly. Lower the heat slightly if needed to keep them from overcooking too fast.
  • Cook to preference. Cook to your preferred consistency, from soft and slightly glossy to more fully set if you like firmer scrambled eggs.
  • Season and serve. Add black pepper or any spices you like, then serve right away. Optionally top with chives or green onion, or serve on toast with tomatoes.
    Black pepper

Notes

Macros are calculated using full-fat cottage cheese. You can lower the fat by 1-2 grams if you use low-fat cottage cheese, and another few grams of fat if you add less butter/oil or skip entirely.
