Description
A delicious and easy cheesy scrambled eggs recipe that’s perfect for a quick meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon milk or cream
- Pinch of salt
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- Chopped herbs (chives, parsley, or spring onion)
Instructions
- Crack those eggs in a bowl, toss in the cottage cheese, and give it a good whisk. You can add the milk or cream here – if you remember.
- Season with salt and pepper. I do this kinda by feel; if you measure, you’re ahead of me already!
- Pop your pan on medium-low heat and add butter (or oil). Wait until it fizzles a tad but don’t let it go brown.
- Pour in the egg and cottage cheese mixture. Let it sit for a second. Then, with a spatula, gently push from the edges to the center as it sets – lazy scramble style.
- When they look half-set and sort of wobbly, sprinkle all that grated cheddar over.
- Let the cheese melt, taking care not to overcook. They should look creamy, not dry.
- If you fancy herbs, toss them on now. Turn off the heat, give it all one last gentle fluff, and serve.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the number of eggs and cheese based on your preferences.
- Experiment with different types of cheese for a unique flavor.
