Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 0.5 cup cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them thoroughly until yolks and whites are fully combined.
Step 2
Add cottage cheese, salt, and black pepper to the eggs. Stir well to integrate the cottage cheese and seasoning with the eggs.
Step 3
Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Allow the butter to melt completely but do not let it brown.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds, or until the edges begin to set.
Step 5
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges towards the center. Continue folding the mixture until large, soft curds form.
Step 6
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, continuing to fold and gently stir, until the eggs are just set and creamy. Avoid overcooking to keep the eggs soft and moist.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the scrambled eggs with chopped chives for a fresh burst of flavor.
Step 8
Serve immediately, while the eggs are warm and fluffy.
