Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large whole eggs
  • 1/2 cup liquid egg whites
  • 1/4 cup low -fat cottage cheese
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced

Method
 

  1. Whisk the whole eggs and liquid egg whites in a mixing bowl until the yolks are fully incorporated.
  2. Fold the cottage cheese into the egg mixture to ensure even protein distribution.
  3. Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter, coating the surface evenly.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
  5. Wait 20 seconds for the base to set, then use a silicone spatula to draw the eggs from the outer edges toward the center to create large, soft curds.
  6. Continue the folding process slowly until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet in appearance, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat source to allow carry-over cooking to finish the eggs without drying them out.
  8. Season with salt and pepper, then garnish with minced chives before serving.
