Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 large egg whites
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the egg whites. Beat them together with a fork or whisk until well combined.
Step 2
Stir in the low-fat cottage cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder into the beaten eggs, ensuring everything is evenly mixed.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add the fresh spinach, and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted.
Step 5
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the pan with the spinach. Cook them for another minute.
Step 6
Pour the egg mixture into the pan, gently stirring with a spatula. Continue to cook while stirring occasionally, making sure the eggs are scrambled and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the pan from heat as soon as the eggs are set but still slightly soft. They will continue to cook from the residual heat.
Step 8
Serve the high-protein scrambled eggs immediately, warm and fluffy.
