Directions
Step 1
Crack the large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the milk, low-fat cottage cheese, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4
Once the oil is heated, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Step 5
Let the eggs sit for a few seconds to set slightly, then stir gently with a spatula, pulling the eggs across the pan to form large soft curds.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs.
Step 7
Continue to cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are softly set and the cheese has melted completely.
