Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 5 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese (Good Culture 4% recommended)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
- Pinch of black pepper
- Optional: chopped dill, parsley, or chives for garnish
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the cottage cheese, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the mixture looks smooth and creamy.
- Warm a nonstick or stainless-steel skillet over medium-low heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom.
- Pour in the egg mixture. Cook gently, stirring slowly and continuously. Keep the heat low so the eggs stay soft and creamy instead of drying out.
- Once the eggs are almost set, but still glossy, take the pan off the heat. They’ll finish cooking in the residual warmth.
- Top with fresh herbs if desired.
