This High Protein Scrambled Eggs with Cottage Cheese recipe offers a simple, nutritious breakfast option that combines creamy cottage cheese with fluffy scrambled eggs for a satisfying meal rich in protein and flavor, perfect for starting your day energized.

  • Total Time: 6 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese (such as Good Culture)
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Fresh ground black pepper, to taste

For Cooking

  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Whisk Ingredients: In a medium bowl, use a fork to whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper until combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Prepare the Skillet: Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and spray it lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  3. Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the warm skillet. Using a rubber spatula, gently scrape the sides of the pan moving sections of eggs toward the center, creating soft folds. Continue this process slowly for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes until the eggs are just set but still soft and creamy.
  4. Serve: Remove the skillet from heat immediately to avoid overcooking and serve the scrambled eggs warm.

Notes

  • Use 2% cottage cheese for a creamy texture without adding too much fat.
  • Gentle, slow cooking over medium-low heat helps keep the eggs tender and fluffy.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  • A rubber spatula works best for folding eggs, which keeps them light and silky.
  • Try adding fresh herbs like chives or parsley for extra flavor.
