Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 large egg whites
- 10 whole cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the egg whites. Beat the eggs and whites together until well combined, then stir in the low-fat cottage cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and set aside. Chop the green onions and fresh basil finely.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced tomatoes, cooking them until they start to soften, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the skillet with the tomatoes. Gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges to the center, allowing them to cook evenly.
Step 5
Continue to cook the eggs, stirring occasionally, until they reach your desired consistency (typically 4-5 minutes for soft, fluffy scrambled eggs).
Step 6
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat, and sprinkle the chopped green onions and fresh basil over the eggs.
Step 7
Serve immediately, garnishing with additional fresh basil, if desired.
