Cottage Cheese Egg Ingredients

Eggs - you'll use two large eggs. I like using pasture-raised eggs because the yolks are deep orange and have great flavor.
Cottage Cheese - I like to use a small curd, low-fat cottage cheese. I've been loving Good Culture lately, but use any brand of cottage cheese you enjoy!
Salt & Pepper - season your eggs to taste with a pinch of salt and some freshly ground black pepper.
Optional - sliced chives or sesame seeds for sprinkling on top.

See the recipe card for quantities.

Step 1: Briskly whisk the eggs in a bowl with a fork until they are fully combined and no white remains. Whisk in the cottage cheese till just combined.

Step 2: Heat a small or medium skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the eggs. Allow the eggs to sit for a minute, and then, using a spatula, stir them occasionally so they don't stick to the pan. Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove them from the heat.

Step 6: Serve the eggs on their own or with a piece of toast. Top with salt and pepper to taste and optional sliced chives or sesame seeds.

Cooking Tips - If you are worried about your eggs sticking to the pan, you can use a small amount of butter or cooking spray in the pan before adding the eggs.
Recommended Tools - I recommend using a smaller non-stick pan for this recipe. You can use stain

Storage - Leftover eggs can be saved for up to 3 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
