- 4 eggs
- ½ cup (100 g) cottage cheese I recommend 4% cottage cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ tbsp butter or olive oil, for cooking
In a medium bowl, combine eggs with cottage cheese, salt and pepper. Using a whisk or a fork, beat eggs with cottage cheese until they are completely combined and the mixture is slightly frothy.
Place a cast iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Once it is hot, add butter or olive oil and heat for some seconds.
Reduce the heat to low-medium.
Pour the cottage cheese egg mixture into the center of the skillet. Let cook without stirring for a few seconds to allow the eggs to set.Once the edges start to set, gently stir the eggs with a spatula. Use a slow and gentle folding motion, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center. When the scrambled eggs are almost done, remove the pan from the heat to avoid overcooking. They will finish cooking with the heat of the pan.
Carefully slide out on a plate. Season with more salt and pepper if necessary and serve.
