Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese preferably Good Culture
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil spray for cooking

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Whisk or fork
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. Crack the four large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the cottage cheese, kosher salt, and a few cracks of fresh ground black pepper.
  2. Using a whisk or fork, beat the egg and cottage cheese mixture together until well combined. You want a smooth consistency with no visible egg whites.
  3. Place your non-stick skillet on medium heat. Lightly spray the pan with olive oil spray, ensuring an even coating to prevent sticking.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to sit undisturbed for a few seconds until the edges start to set.
  5. Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them from the edges toward the center. Continue to cook and stir until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly soft, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove them from the heat. Serve immediately, garnished with additional black pepper or your favorite herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Feel free to add chopped vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for extra nutrition.
  • Fresh herbs like chives can elevate the flavor.
  • For a spicy kick, add diced jalapeƱos or cayenne pepper.
