Servings: 2
Cost: $10
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- pinch sea salt
- pinch black pepper
- pinch dried parsley
- 1 tbsp butter or non stick spray
- fresh chives optional
Instructions
- Crack eggs into a large mixing bowl, and whisk slightly
- Add the cottage cheese, salt, pepper and parsley, and whisk until well blended
- Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat
- Add egg mixture, and allow to sit for a few seconds. Gently push the outer edges of the eggs towards the center of the skillet using a spatula until eggs are set and liquid is mostly absorbed -- 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove from heat, garnish with chopped chives, if desired, and serve
Notes
Avoid rubbery eggs by cooking over low to medium-low heat and gently stirring until liquid is mostly absorbed. Remaining liquid will absorb as the eggs cool down.
A nonstick skillet works best.
You can easily adjust the amounts to make more eggs or less, if needed.
