Ingredients

• 4 large Eggs
• 4 large Egg Whites
• 1 cup Cottage Cheese
• 1 cup Fresh Spinach
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
• 2 tablespoons Hot Sauce
• 1 tablespoon Chives

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the egg whites and whisk together until well combined.

Step 2

Stir in the cottage cheese and mix until the ingredients are thoroughly blended.

Step 3

Roughly chop the spinach into bite-sized pieces and add to the egg mixture. Mix well.

Step 4

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, stirring to ensure even distribution.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Once hot, pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit without stirring for about 30 seconds.

Step 7

Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking and to allow curds to form.

Step 8

Continue to cook and stir until the eggs are just set and slightly runny, removing the pan from heat just before they are fully cooked as they will continue to cook off the heat.

Step 9

Plate the scrambled eggs and drizzle with the hot sauce, adjusting the amount to your taste preference.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped chives before serving.
