- 4 large eggs
- 0.25 cup (4 tablespoons) cottage cheese
Cooking Fats:
- 1 tablespoon butter (or olive oil)
Seasonings and Garnish:
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Whisk eggs in a mixing bowl until thoroughly blended, incorporating cottage cheese, salt, and pepper to create a smooth, integrated mixture.
- Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over gentle, consistent medium-low heat, ensuring an even coating across the cooking surface.
- Gently transfer the egg and cottage cheese blend into the warm skillet, using a flexible spatula to create soft, delicate curds while continuously stirring.
- Monitor the cooking process carefully, maintaining a creamy texture and preventing overcooking by stirring consistently for approximately 3-4 minutes.
- When eggs reach a luxurious, slightly runny consistency, immediately remove the skillet from heat, recognizing that residual warmth will continue gentle cooking.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped chives across the surface for a vibrant, herbaceous garnish that adds both visual appeal and subtle flavor complexity.
- Serve the scrambled eggs promptly while maintaining their optimal temperature and silky texture, ensuring a delightful culinary experience.
Notes
- Opt for full-fat cottage cheese to achieve a richer, creamier texture in your scrambled eggs.
- Experiment with different herb combinations like dill, parsley, or green onions for added flavor depth.
- For a protein-packed breakfast, use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese as an alternative creamy ingredient.
- Keep the heat low and slow to prevent overcooking, ensuring soft and silky scrambled eggs every time.
