Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup cottage cheese

  • 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. Cook for about 2 minutes, and once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove them from the heat.

Notes

    • 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. 
    • Storage - Leftover eggs can be saved for up to 3 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
    • Reheat - Reheat in a small skillet over medium heat.
