Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cup cottage cheese

- 0.5 cup, diced bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup, halved cherry tomatoes

Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk until fully incorporated and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Add salt and black pepper to the egg mixture and set aside.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Add the diced bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Add the spinach to the pan and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until wilted.
Step 6
Slowly pour the egg mixture into the skillet, gently stirring with a spatula.
Step 7
Once the eggs start to set but are still slightly runny, add the cottage cheese and cherry tomatoes, and continue to gently fold the eggs until fully cooked but still creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with chopped scallions before serving.
Step 9
Serve the scrambled eggs warm, garnished with additional black pepper or herbs if desired.
