    2 large egg, ¼ cup cottage cheese, ⅛ tsp salt, 1 pinch pepper
  • Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
    1 tbsp olive oil
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit for a few seconds until it starts to set around the edges.
  • Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them from the edges toward the centre, until they are softly scrambled and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.

Cooking Tips

  • Whisk Thoroughly: Ensure the eggs and cottage cheese are well whisked to create a creamy and uniform texture.
  • Non-stick Skillet: Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the eggs from sticking and to allow for easier scrambling.
  • Low and Slow: Cook the eggs on medium heat to avoid overcooking and to maintain a soft and creamy texture.
  • Add Veggies: Consider adding chopped spinach, bell peppers, or tomatoes for added nutrition and flavour.
  • Seasoning Variations: Experiment with different herbs and spices such as dill, parsley, or paprika for a unique twist.
