Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives or green onion (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.

- Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit undisturbed for about 10 seconds.
- Gently fold the eggs with a spatula, pushing from the edges toward the center until softly set.

- Cook on low heat to avoid overcooked or rubbery eggs.
