Ingredients

3 large eggs
1/3 cup cottage cheese (80 grams)
salt and pepper, to taste (I usually just add pepper)
butter or oil, for cooking
optional toppings - fresh herbs, salsa, hot sauce...

Instructions

Make your egg mixture. In a medium-large bowl, add eggs, cottage cheese, and some salt and pepper. Whisk to combine.
Heat up a medium non-stick skillet over low heat. Once hot, add oil or butter and let it melt/get hot, about 15-30 seconds. Pour in your egg mixture into the pan. Let sit without stirring for about 5-10 seconds and then continuously move eggs with a spatula until cottage cheese has been incorporated into the eggs and the eggs are cooked to your preference. This should take anywhere from 2-4 minutes.
Enjoy! Serve with your favorite sides.
