Ingredients
2 servings
- •3 Egg, Whole, Large(132g)
- •0.5 cup Cottage Cheese (2%)
1% or 2% small-curd cottage cheese. Good Cultures or Daisy brand.
- •0.5 tbsp Unsalted Butter
Instructions
- 1Whisk the large eggs and cottage cheese together in a bowl until completely combined with no streaks of egg white visible.
- 2Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat for 1 minute, then add the butter and swirl to coat the pan once melted, about 1–2 minutes.
- 3Reduce heat to low and pour in the egg mixture. Let sit undisturbed for 30–45 seconds until the edges begin to set.
- 4Using a rubber spatula, gently push the set edges toward the center of the pan and break up any large clumps. Continue this motion over low heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the eggs look mostly cooked but still appear slightly wet on top.
- 5Turn off the heat and continue gently stirring with the spatula for 30–60 seconds using residual pan heat until the eggs are soft and creamy but no longer runny.
- 6Divide evenly into 2 airtight containers while hot. Cool to room temperature, seal, and refrigerate until ready to eat.
