Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 100 grams cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- 30 grams feta cheese (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk until completely blended.
Step 2
Add the cottage cheese, salt, and black pepper to the eggs, and stir to combine. Make sure the cottage cheese is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, ensuring the oil is spread evenly across the surface.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook for a few seconds without stirring, until the edges begin to set.
Step 5
Using a spatula, gently scrape the egg mixture from the edges toward the center. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, and folding the eggs over themselves until they are mostly cooked but still slightly runny. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the residual heat finish cooking the eggs until they reach your desired consistency.
Step 7
If using feta cheese, sprinkle it over the top and let it slightly melt in the hot eggs.
Step 8
Garnish the scrambled eggs with chopped chives and serve immediately.
