Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ cup cottage cheese I use full fat, but any variety will work
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • pinch black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
  • fresh chives chopped, optional topping

Instructions

  • Whisk eggs in a large bowl, just until the whites and yolks combine. Add cottage cheese, salt, and pepper and stir until combined.
  • Heat a large pan over medium-low heat and add the butter. Once melted, twirl to fully coat the bottom of your pan, and add the eggs.
  • Leave the eggs undisturbed until the edges start set, then run a rubber spatula along the edges to form large curds. Continue this process, pausing for a few seconds to allow the eggs to set, then swiping to form curds for a few minutes, until the eggs have nearly set.
  • Sprinkle with freshly chopped chives before serving, and enjoy!
