Ingredients
  

  • 4 fresh eggs
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instructions
 

  • Crack the fresh eggs into a big bowl.
  • Add cottage cheese, along with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Whisk the ingredients together until they are thoroughly blended.
  • Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and melt in the butter.
  • Pour the whisked egg mixture into the pan and use a spatula to gently push the eggs towards the center as they cook.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs and a good quality cottage cheese for the best flavor. Eggs are the flavor base and cottage cheese adds creaminess, so their quality will determine the final taste. Cottage cheese ranges in milk fat -- the higher the percentage (i.e., 4%), the creamier the resulting eggs.
  • Whisk the eggs and cottage cheese together until it's uniform. You want smoothness. A smooth mix ensures a creamy final dish.
  • Keep the temperature at a MEDIUM setting when cooking the eggs. A high temperature might scramble the eggs too quickly and make them tough. You're looking for light, fluffy curds in this scramble.
  • Once the egg mixture is in the heated pan, start gently pushing the eggs from the edges towards the center. You want constant movement. It helps create those soft, creamy folds of the scrambled eggs.
  • It's easy to overlook salt and pepper. They're a permanent fixture on the dining room table so we tend not to think of them as seasoning for cooking. But their efforts enhance the flavors and make your scrambled eggs simply wonderful. Just don't overdo it -- you want to taste the eggs, not the seasoning.
