Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1/3 cup cottage cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or oil
- Fresh herbs (chives, parsley, or dill), for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Add cottage cheese to the eggs, and season with salt and pepper. Mix gently to distribute the cheese.
- Heat the butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, and allow it to cook without stirring for about 30 seconds.
- Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges to the center, creating soft curds.
- Continue folding and stirring until the eggs are just set and creamy.
- Remove from heat, as the eggs will continue to cook slightly.
- Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For an extra creamy texture, use whole-milk cottage cheese.
- Adjust cooking time for preferred doneness; less time for softer eggs, longer for firmer curds.
- Adding fresh herbs enhances the dish's flavor.
