# Steps to Cook:
01 -
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and cottage cheese until blended. Small curds are acceptable as they will melt during cooking.
02 -
Melt butter or warm olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
03 -
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to set for a few seconds, then gently stir with a silicone spatula to form creamy curds. Cook slowly over low heat.
04 -
Remove from heat while eggs are still slightly glossy. Season with salt, pepper, and any preferred toppings before serving.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For the creamiest texture, cook on medium-low heat and remove from heat just before fully set to allow carryover cooking.
02 -
Full-fat cottage cheese yields richer, silkier eggs.
