Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese
- 2 pinches salt
- Dash of garlic powder
- Dash of paprika
- Dash of black pepper
Cooking
- 1 teaspoon butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture: Crack 2 large eggs into a bowl. Add 1/4 cup of cottage cheese, 2 pinches of salt, a dash of garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until fully combined, creating a slightly thick, creamy mixture.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 teaspoon of butter. Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the skillet. Using a rubber spatula, gently stir the mixture continuously, scraping the cooked eggs from the bottom of the pan. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes or until the eggs are just set but still creamy, ensuring they do not dry out or become watery.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs and high-quality cottage cheese for best texture and flavor.
- Cooking on medium heat prevents the eggs from cooking too fast and helps avoid watery eggs.
- Continuous stirring helps create fluffy, creamy scrambled eggs.
- Add additional seasoning or fresh herbs like chives or parsley for enhanced flavor.
- This recipe serves 1 but can be easily doubled or tripled.
