Scale
Main Protein Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup (120 ml) 2% cottage cheese
Seasoning Ingredients:
- ⅛ teaspoon (0.6 ml) kosher salt
- Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Cooking Ingredient:
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Vigorously whisk eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until thoroughly combined and slightly frothy.
- Prepare a nonstick skillet by lightly coating with olive oil spray and warming over medium-low temperature.
- Carefully transfer the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the preheated skillet.
- As the bottom layer of eggs begins to solidify, use a rubber spatula to gently push cooked portions toward the center of the pan.
- Create soft, pillowy folds by continuously and delicately moving the eggs around the skillet.
- Monitor the cooking process closely, ensuring the eggs maintain a creamy, tender consistency without becoming dry or overcooked.
- Remove the skillet from heat when the eggs are just set but still appear slightly glossy and moist.
- Immediately plate the scrambled eggs to prevent further cooking and preserve their delicate texture.
- Serve hot, garnishing with optional fresh herbs or additional cracked black pepper if desired.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs and cottage cheese to ensure smooth, even mixing without lumps.
- Choose full-fat cottage cheese for richer, creamier scrambled eggs with enhanced protein content.
- Employ low and slow cooking method to prevent overcooking and maintain a soft, velvety texture.
- Experiment with fresh herbs like chives or dill to elevate the flavor profile and add a vibrant touch to the dish.
