Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives (optional)
- Ground black pepper to taste
Directions
- Gather all ingredients and have them ready before starting.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat until fully melted and lightly bubbling.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and allow them to cook undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes, until the bottom begins to set.
- Add the cottage cheese and chives, then season with black pepper.
- Gently stir the eggs, folding them as they cook, until they are soft, creamy, and just set, about 3 to 4 minutes more.
- Remove from heat immediately and serve warm.
Chefs Notes
- For extra creaminess, use full-fat cottage cheese.
- Avoid overcooking—eggs will continue to cook slightly after being removed from heat.
- Try adding diced tomatoes or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Cook on medium to low heat for the softest texture.
