Ingredients
4 large eggs
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped chives
Instructions
1. Crack the eggs into a medium bowl.
2. Add the cottage cheese, salt, and black pepper, then whisk until well combined.
3. Place a nonstick skillet over low to medium-low heat and add the butter.
4. Once the butter melts, pour in the egg mixture.
5. Let the eggs sit for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center.
6. Continue stirring slowly until soft curds form and the eggs look creamy.
7. Remove the pan from the heat while the eggs are still slightly glossy.
8. Transfer to plates, sprinkle with chopped chives, and serve immediately.
Notes
Use low heat so the eggs stay soft and creamy instead of turning dry.
Blend the cottage cheese first if you want the texture completely smooth.
Take the eggs off the heat just before they look fully done because they will keep cooking for a minute.
