Ingredients
Method
- Crack the eggs into a bowl. Give them a light whisk — not too aggressive. You want them combined, but you don’t need a foamy mixture
- Stir in the cottage cheese. You don’t need to blend it fully; a few visible curds are completely fine. They’ll melt into the eggs as they cook.
- Place a medium non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Drop in the butter or oil and let it warm gently.
- Pour the egg mixture into the warm pan. Let it sit for a few seconds, just long enough for the edges to start setting. Then, with a spatula, slowly pull the eggs from the edges toward the center.
- Once the eggs look almost done — still a little shiny and soft — remove the pan from the heat.
- Season with salt and pepper.
Notes
These are little details that truly change the outcome:
Keep the heat gentle
High heat makes eggs tough. Slow cooking keeps them delicate.
Use full-fat cottage cheese
It melts better and has a smoother taste.
Don’t over-stir
Let the eggs sit between movements so you get soft folds instead of tiny pieces.
Season at the end
Salt added too early can make the eggs watery. A quick sprinkle at the end is perfect.
