Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese (small curd preferred)
- 1 teaspoon butter or olive oil
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 pinch of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives or green onions (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Crack the two large eggs into a small mixing bowl. Use a fork or a whisk to beat them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are completely combined and slightly frothy.
- Add the 1/4 cup of cottage cheese directly into the beaten eggs. Season with a small pinch of salt and black pepper. Stir gently to distribute the curds throughout the egg mixture.
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter or olive oil and let it melt until it coats the bottom of the pan. Do not let the pan get too hot, as low heat is key for creamy eggs.
- Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the skillet. Let it sit for about 30 seconds until the edges just begin to set. Use a spatula to gently push the eggs toward the center, creating soft folds.
- Continue cooking and stirring gently until the eggs are mostly set but still look slightly moist. Remove from heat immediately, as they will continue to cook on the plate. Top with fresh chives if desired and serve warm.
