Cottage Cheese Eggs
High protein scrambled eggs made with just a few simple ingredients: cottage cheese, cheddar cheese and eggs!
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1/2 tbsp avocado oil, butter or cooking spray
- 2 eggs
- 3-4 tbsp cottage cheese full fat preferred
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese
- salt + black pepper to taste
- chopped parsley or chives for serving optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl add eggs and cottage cheese. Whisk together until fully combined. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat a nonstick skillet on low-medium heat. Add oil, butter or cooking spray and coat the pan evenly.
- Add the whisked eggs and cottage cheese to the hot pan. Let them cook undisturbed for 10-15 seconds until the edges have begun to set.
- Using a spatula, push eggs toward the center and continue to fold and stir eggs every few seconds. Be sure to allow the eggs to cook in the pan in between stirs to cook out some of the moisture.
- Continue cooking eggs to your desired doneness.
- Stir in cheddar cheese just before serving, and add salt and pepper to taste (this will depend on the saltiness of your cottage cheese).
Notes
Full-fat (whole milk) cottage cheese works because lower fat versions tend to have more water.
Be sure to allow the eggs to cook in the pan in between stirs to cook out some of the moisture.
