Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese I like Good Culture
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • olive oil spray

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, kosher salt, and fresh ground black pepper until combined and slightly frothy.
  • Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly coat it with olive oil spray.
  • When the skillet is warm, pour in the egg mixture.
  • Using a rubber spatula, gently scrape sections of the eggs toward the center as the edges begin to set, forming soft folds; continue slowly for about 1½–2 minutes until the eggs are just set but still creamy.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and serve immediately.

Equipment

  • medium nonstick skillet
  • rubber spatula
  • medium bowl
  • fork

Notes

  • Use low to medium-low heat to keep the eggs creamy.
  • Whisking the cottage cheese into the eggs creates a smoother texture.
  • Season with black pepper to taste.
  • Cook until just set for the best texture.
