Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large Eggs Provides a perfect base for protein.
  • 1/2 cup Cottage Cheese Adds creaminess and significant protein.
  • 1 pinch Salt Enhances flavors.
  • 1 pinch Black Pepper Adds a mild kick.
  • 1 teaspoon Butter Prevents sticking and adds flavor.
  • 1 pinch Garlic Powder Introduces a delicious aromatic undertone.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. Crack the two eggs into a mixing bowl, add the cottage cheese, salt, black pepper, butter, and a pinch of garlic powder.
  2. Using a whisk or fork, mix the ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined.
  3. Place the non-stick skillet on medium heat. Allow it to warm up for a minute before adding the butter.
  4. Add the butter to the skillet and swirl it around until it’s fully melted.
  5. Once the butter is melted and bubbling slightly, pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the skillet.
  6. With your spatula, gently stir the eggs, folding them over themselves until they are softly scrambled.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat while the eggs still look slightly undercooked and serve warm.

Notes

For a heart-healthy option, consider using cooking spray instead of butter. These scrambled eggs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Feel free to customize the dish with vegetables for added nutrients.
