Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cup cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup spinach
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 stalk green onions (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them until fully combined. Season with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Let it melt and coat the pan evenly.
Step 3
Add the spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds.
Step 5
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, moving them across the pan to form soft curds.
Step 6
When the eggs are halfway cooked (still slightly runny), stir in the cottage cheese and cherry tomatoes.
Step 7
Continue to cook the scramble, stirring gently, until the eggs are fully set but still moist and fluffy.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
Step 9
Optional: Top with sliced green onions for added flavor and garnish.
Step 10
Serve the Cottage Cheese Scramble warm, alongside toast or fresh fruit, if desired.
