cottage cheese eggs
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 1 tbsp milk or cream optional, for extra fluff
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tsp butter or olive oil for the pan
Optional Add-ins:
- Chopped chives or parsley
- Diced tomatoes or sautéed spinach
- A pinch of chili flakes or smoked paprika
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Whisk until well blended.
- Stir in cottage cheese, milk or cream (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Heat butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour in the egg mixture. Let it sit undisturbed for 20–30 seconds.
- Stir gently with a spatula, folding the eggs slowly to form soft curds.
- Cook until just set — remove from heat slightly before they look done (carryover heat finishes the job).
- Serve warm, topped with herbs or extra cottage cheese if you like.
