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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
