Ingredients

  • 2 large egg s
  • 1/2 cup low -fat cottage cheese (2% milkfat)
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely minced

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs vigorously until the yolks and whites are fully homogenized and slightly aerated.
  • Add the cottage cheese to the egg mixture and stir gently to combine without breaking the curds entirely.
  • Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter, swirling to coat the surface once melted.
  • Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the skillet.
  • Allow the base to set for approximately 30 seconds, then use a silicone spatula to sweep the mixture from the edges toward the center, forming large, soft curds.
  • Continue to cook over low heat, stirring slowly and intermittently, until the eggs are mostly set but still appear slightly wet (approximately 3 to 4 minutes).
  • Remove the skillet from the heat source immediately to allow residual heat to finish the cooking process without toughening the proteins.
  • Season with salt and black pepper, garnish with minced chives, and serve immediately.
