Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 pieces egg whites
- 0.5 cup cottage cheese (low-fat)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Crack the large eggs into a bowl and add the egg whites. Beat them together until fully combined.
Step 2
Add the low-fat cottage cheese to the egg mixture. Stir until the ingredients are well integrated.
Step 3
Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper, and mix again.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt completely and coat the base of the pan.
Step 5
Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 20 seconds.
Step 6
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs from the edges towards the center. Stir occasionally to develop gentle curds.
Step 7
Continue cooking the eggs to your desired level of doneness. For soft and creamy scrambled eggs, remove them from the heat while slightly underdone as they will keep cooking off the heat.
Step 8
Once cooked, transfer the eggs to serving plates and garnish with chopped fresh chives.
Step 9
Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
