Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese (small or large curd, full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil spray

Equipment

  • 1 Medium mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 Nonstick skillet
  • 1 Rubber or wooden spatula

Method
 

  1. Whisk the eggs and salt together thoroughly until the mixture is an even, consistent yellow with no streaks of egg white.
  2. Add the cottage cheese and gently stir just until distributed, leaving some curds intact.
  3. Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until foamy but not browned, or coat with olive oil spray.
  4. Pour in the egg mixture. Let it sit undisturbed for several seconds until the edges start to turn opaque.
  5. Using a spatula, slowly push the cooked egg from the edges toward the center. Stir only occasionally.
  6. Remove from heat while still slightly glossy; they'll continue cooking from residual heat. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • See the Chunky vs. Smooth texture table in the post for a fully blended version.
  • If your eggs turn out watery, see the troubleshooting section in the post — it's almost always the cottage cheese brand or added vegetables.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
