High Protein Scrambled Eggs with Cottage Cheese

Prep Time 2 minutes
Cook Time 6 minutes
Total Time 8 minutes
Servings: 1 servings
Course: Main Course

Ingredients
  

  • 2-4 large eggs
  • ¼–½ cup cottage cheese (small curd preferred)
  • 1 tsp butter or olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Mix It Up
    Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the cottage cheese. Stir gently—don’t overmix.
    You’re not trying to make it perfectly smooth. A little texture is good.
  2. Step 2: Heat the Pan (Low and Slow Wins Here)
    Place a nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Add butter or oil and let it melt.
    This part matters more than you think. High heat is the fastest way to ruin scrambled eggs.
  3. Step 3: Cook Gently
    Pour the mixture into the pan. Let it sit for a few seconds, then gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center.
    Don’t rush it. Let the eggs form soft curds.
  4. Step 4: Pull Them Early
    When the eggs look slightly underdone—soft and a bit glossy—remove them from heat.
    They’ll keep cooking for another minute. That’s exactly what you want.
  5. Step 5: Finish and Serve
    Season with salt and pepper. Add herbs or toppings if you like.
    Serve immediately. These eggs don’t wait around well.
