Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large large eggs Provide the base of the dish, delivering high protein content.
  • ½ cup cottage cheese (4% milk fat) Adds creaminess and extra protein for a filling meal.
  • ½ tbsp butter or olive oil For cooking, adding a rich flavor and preventing sticking.
  • to taste Salt and pepper Enhances the flavors of the dish, adjustable to personal preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well-combined.
  2. In a large heavy-duty skillet, heat the butter over medium heat until it’s melted and bubbling, making sure not to burn it.
Cooking
  1. Pour in the egg mixture and let it cook without stirring for a few seconds.
  2. As the edges begin to set, gently stir with a rubber spatula, folding the edges toward the center.
  3. When the eggs are almost set but still slightly runny, remove them from the heat and transfer to a serving plate; they will continue to cook from the residual heat.

Notes

Don’t rush the cooking process; allowing the eggs to set before stirring will give you that coveted fluffy texture. Serve alongside whole-grain toast or seasonal vegetables for a hearty meal.
