Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2–3 large fresh eggs
  • 2–3 tablespoons small curd or creamy cottage cheese
  • 1 teaspoon butter or olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Add-ins and Garnishes

  • Fresh herbs (chives, dill, parsley) – finely chopped
  • Diced vegetables (tomatoes, spinach, bell peppers)
  • Cheeses (feta, cheddar, mozzarella)
  • Herbs (basil, tarragon, thyme)
  • Spices (paprika, chili flakes, hot sauce)
  • Slices of avocado (for low-carb/keto version)
  • Chopped crispy bacon (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Crack and Whisk the Eggs: Crack two or three large eggs into a bowl. Whisk gently until the yolks and whites are blended but not overly foamy to keep the eggs tender and ensure even cooking.
  2. Add Cottage Cheese: Fold in 2-3 tablespoons of small curd or creamy cottage cheese gently. The curds add creaminess and release moisture during cooking.
  3. Heat Your Pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Melt a small pat of butter or drizzle olive oil to lightly coat the pan, adding richness and preventing sticking.
  4. Cook Slowly and Stir: Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the pan. Let it sit a few seconds, then stir gently and continuously with a spatula, folding the eggs over themselves to form soft curds without drying out.
  5. Season and Serve: When eggs are just set but still slightly glossy, sprinkle salt, pepper, and any fresh herbs chosen. Immediately remove from heat to avoid overcooking. Serve warm for best texture.

Notes

  • Cook on low heat to achieve a soft, creamy texture rather than rubbery eggs.
  • Whisk eggs just until combined to keep curds tender and avoid toughness.
  • Drain excess liquid from cottage cheese for a creamier final dish.
  • Add fresh herbs at the end to preserve their bright flavor and aroma.
  • Use a non-stick pan to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
