My Take On Cottage Cheese Scrambled Eggs

At home, we've been enjoying these cottage cheese scrambled eggs with toast, bacon, and even some hash browns. And, I have to admit, everyone in the house - yes, even the kids - love the recipe.

Ingredients

Here's what you'll need:

• 4 eggs
• 1 tbsp. butter
• ¼ cup cottage cheese
• 2 teaspoon chives, chopped

How to Make Cottage Cheese Scrambled Eggs

Making this cottage cheese scrambled eggs recipe couldn't be simpler. Even if you've never made scrambled eggs before, this recipe breaks down the steps to have you cooking like a pro in no time.

Let's get crackin'.

Step One: Season the Eggs

Crack the uncooked eggs into a bowl and season them with salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until the whites and yolks are well combined.

Step Two: Cook the eggs

Melt the butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot enough, pour in the egg mixture.

Let the eggs cook until the bottom begins to firm up while the top is still a little wet, around 1-2 minutes.

Step Three: Add Cottage Cheese

Add dollops of cottage cheese over the partially cooked eggs and sprinkle some chives on top. Cook and stir until the eggs are done to your liking.

Step Four: Serve

Sprinkle the rest of the chives over your cottage cheese scrambled eggs and serve immediately with your choice of sides. Enjoy!

How to Store These Cottage Cheese Scrambled Eggs

This high protein scrambled eggs recipe makes enough for 2 servings, and is best enjoyed when it's freshly cooked.

But, if you do happen to have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container and refrigerate 'em for up to 4 days. For the best results, place a paper towel at the bottom of the container to soak up any liquid the eggs releases over time.

I don't recommend freezing these cottage cheese scrambled eggs. The cottage cheese can separate and lose its texture when frozen.

How to Reheat this Recipe

The best way to reheat these scrambled eggs is on the stovetop.

To do that, add olive oil - or butter - to a frying pan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the eggs back in and stir until warmed through. 

Alternatively, you can heat these scrambled eggs up in the microwave. It's faster and more efficient but can lead to slightly rubbery results. Place the eggs on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave 'em in 30-second intervals until warmed throughout.
