Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil, for cooking

Optional Ingredients

  • Fresh herbs (chives, parsley, dill), chopped

Instructions

  1. Crack and Whisk the Eggs: Start by cracking your eggs into a bowl, then whisk them gently until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy. This step injects air, helping the eggs turn nice and fluffy.
  2. Add Cottage Cheese: Stir in the cottage cheese into your whisked eggs. It’s the magic ingredient that brings creamy smoothness and a subtle tang that elevates the dish far beyond plain scrambled eggs.
  3. Season the Mixture: Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Feel free to toss in chopped herbs at this stage if you want fresh flavor embedded in every bite.
  4. Heat the Pan and Cook: Warm your skillet over medium-low heat and melt a little butter or add oil. Pour in the egg and cottage cheese mixture, letting it cook gently. Stir occasionally with a spatula, folding the mixture softly to preserve creaminess.
  5. Serve Immediately: Once the eggs are cooked but still moist and fluffy, remove from heat and serve without delay. Overcooking can rob the dish of its luxurious texture.

Notes

  • Low and Slow: Cooking on low heat prevents the eggs from becoming rubbery and ensures creaminess.
  • Fresh Cottage Cheese: Use full-fat and fresh cottage cheese for the best texture and flavor.
  • Don’t Over-Stir: Gently fold rather than vigorously scramble for better texture.
  • Season Gradually: Taste as you go to avoid over-salting, since cottage cheese can already be slightly salty.
  • Prep Ingredients Ahead: Chop herbs or vegetables before starting for smooth cooking flow.
