- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (such as chives, parsley, or dill) for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and gently whisk until combined. Add a pinch of salt.
- Heat the Skillet: Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over low heat, ensuring even coating.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the eggs into the skillet and let them sit for a few seconds until they begin to set.
- Scramble Gently: Push the eggs from the edges toward the center with a spatula, repeating until soft curds form.
- Add Cottage Cheese: When the eggs are about 80% cooked, gently fold in the cottage cheese, letting it melt slightly.
- Finish Cooking: Cook for another minute, remove from heat, and let residual heat finish the eggs.
- Serve: Season with black pepper, garnish with herbs if desired, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Dairy-Free Option: Use a dairy-free cottage cheese alternative and plant-based butter.

- Extra Creaminess: Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best texture.
