Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 100 ml egg whites
- 3 stalks green onions
- 50 grams cottage cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Crack the 4 large eggs into a mixing bowl and add 100 ml of egg whites.
Step 2
Whisk the eggs and egg whites together until they are fully combined and slightly frothy.
Step 3
Finely chop the 3 green onion stalks, including the green tops, and set them aside.
Step 4
Fold 50 grams of cottage cheese into the egg mixture, ensuring the cheese is evenly distributed.
Step 5
Season the egg mixture with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well.
Step 6
Heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Step 7
Once the butter has melted and begins to bubble, pour the egg mixture into the pan.
Step 8
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds until they just start to set around the edges.
Step 9
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, bringing them from the edges towards the center.
Step 10
Continue to gently stir the eggs every 15-20 seconds, allowing curds to form and ensuring even cooking.
Step 11
After about 1-2 minutes, when the eggs are almost set but still a bit runny, remove the pan from the heat.
Step 12
Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the scrambled eggs and give them one last gentle fold in the pan.
Step 13
Serve immediately on plates, optionally garnished with additional green onion slices.
