Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large large eggs Choose farm-fresh organic eggs for best flavor.
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese Opt for full-fat for creamier texture.
  • 1 tablespoon butter Use to coat the pan.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives For garnish and added flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until fully combined, achieving a smooth, uniform color.
  2. Gently stir in the cottage cheese, salt, and black pepper until evenly distributed.
Cooking
  1. Heat a nonstick skillet over low to medium-low heat and melt the butter, allowing it to foam but not brown.
  2. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit for a few seconds until the edges begin to set without stirring.
  3. Use a spatula to gently push the edges toward the center, folding slowly as soft curds begin forming.
  4. Remove the eggs from the heat while they are still slightly glossy; residual heat will finish the cooking.
  5. Transfer to a plate, top with fresh chives, and serve immediately.

Notes

For a healthier twist, add vegetables like spinach or bell peppers. Consider incorporating seeds such as chia or flaxseeds for added nutrition.
