Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup cottage cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the milk. Whisk together until the mixture is homogenous and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Add the cottage cheese to the egg mixture and continue to whisk until combined. This will increase the protein content and make the scrambled eggs creamy.
Step 3
Season the egg mixture with salt and ground black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Step 5
Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Step 6
Use a spatula to gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges to the center as they begin to set.
Step 7
Continue to cook and gently stir until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the residual heat to finish cooking the eggs until they are fully set.
Step 9
Transfer the scrambled eggs onto serving plates and garnish with chopped chives before serving.
