Ingredients
Scale
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup cottage cheese
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp butter
- Pinch of garlic powder
Instructions
- Start by cracking the 2 eggs into a medium bowl. Whisk them together with a fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined, about 30 seconds.
- Add the 1/3 cup cottage cheese, 1/8 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp black pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder to the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the cottage cheese is evenly distributed throughout the eggs, which should take about 30 seconds.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tsp of butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, swirling the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds so that the bottom can set slightly.
- Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges toward the center. Continue this for about 1-2 minutes until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly soft and creamy.
- Once the eggs are just set with a soft curd texture, remove the skillet from the heat. They will continue to cook from residual heat.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or additional seasoning if desired.
