Ingredients
- 5 large eggs equivalent Egg whites
- 0.25 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons Skim milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chives or green onions, chopped
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg whites, low-fat cottage cheese, and skim milk until well combined and the cottage cheese breaks down slightly.
Step 2
Add salt and black pepper to the egg mixture and whisk again to incorporate evenly.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit for a few seconds until it starts to set around the edges.
Step 5
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs occasionally, lifting and folding them over as they cook. Be careful not to over-stir; this helps retain fluffiness.
Step 6
Continue cooking until the eggs are just set but still slightly soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Avoid letting them brown.
Step 7
Remove from heat and sprinkle the chopped chives or green onions on top.
Step 8
Serve the scramble immediately, divided evenly onto two plates.
