Ingredients

• 4 pieces large eggs
• 0.5 cup low-sodium cottage cheese
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and beat them lightly with a whisk or fork until combined.

Step 2

Add the low-sodium cottage cheese to the beaten eggs and mix well. This will add creaminess and extra protein to the scrambled eggs.

Step 3

Place a non-stick skillet on the stove over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt completely and coat the bottom of the skillet.

Step 4

Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the skillet.

Step 5

Gently stir the mixture occasionally with a spatula, allowing the eggs to cook slowly and evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle black pepper over the eggs to taste. Avoid adding salt to keep the dish low in sodium.

Step 7

Continue cooking and folding the eggs until they are softly set and slightly runny. Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.

Step 8

Garnish the scrambled eggs with freshly chopped chives and dill before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot and enjoy your low sodium scrambled eggs with cottage cheese as a delightful breakfast or brunch.
