Cottage Cheese Scramble
A quick and creamy high-protein breakfast that transforms ordinary scrambled eggs into a satisfying meal in under five minutes.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese small or medium curd works fine
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter optional; helps prevent sticking and adds flavor
Seasoning
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the cottage cheese.
- Whisk vigorously until the mixture is mostly smooth and slightly frothy.
Cooking
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil or butter if using.
- Pour the egg-cottage cheese mixture into the warm pan.
- Let it sit undisturbed for 15–20 seconds, then gently fold with a spatula.
- Repeat until large soft curds form and the eggs are mostly set, about 3–5 minutes total.
- Remove from heat when still slightly glossy — carryover heat will finish them. Season with salt and pepper and serve hot.
Notes
Best enjoyed spooned over buttered toast or alongside sautéed spinach, roasted tomatoes, or avocado slices. Can be made vegetarian or vegan with appropriate substitutions.
