Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Eggs: I usually use large eggs for their rich flavor; feel free to go organic if you’re feeling fancy.
Cottage Cheese: Opt for full-fat for creaminess or low-fat if you’re watching calories; both work wonders.
Butter: Unsalted butter adds richness; it’s like giving your eggs a warm embrace.
Salt and Pepper: Essential seasonings that elevate the dish; adjust according to your taste preference.
Chives (optional): Fresh chives add color and a mild onion flavor; sprinkle them on top for an elegant touch.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Gather Your Ingredients: Start by collecting all your ingredients and utensils. You’ll need a non-stick skillet and spatula ready to rock ‘n’ roll.

Whisk Those Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them vigorously until they’re frothy—this brings air into them for extra fluffiness.

Melt the Butter: In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it’s bubbly but not browned. The aroma should make you want to dive right in!

Add Eggs and Seasoning: Pour those beautifully whisked eggs into the skillet. Sprinkle salt and pepper immediately to enhance their flavor as they cook.

Fold in the Cottage Cheese: As the edges begin to set (after about 1-2 minutes), gently fold in spoonfuls of cottage cheese. Watch how it melts slightly into creamy perfection.

Finish Cooking and Serve**: Continue cooking until the eggs are just set but still soft—pull them off before they’re fully cooked as they’ll keep cooking off heat. Serve hot with optional chives sprinkled on top!

Now you’ve got yourself some scrumptious scrambled eggs with cottage cheese! Enjoy every bite of this fluffy goodness that will leave you smiling all day long!
