A quick, creamy, and protein-packed scrambled eggs recipe enhanced with cottage cheese and everything bagel seasoning for a flavorful and healthy breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60g) small-curd low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning
  • Pinch of salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter
  • Fresh chives, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Crack 3 large eggs into a medium bowl. Add 1/4 cup (60g) of small-curd cottage cheese, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk together until fairly uniform but still a little lumpy, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil or butter. Let it melt and warm for about 1 minute until hot but not smoking.
  3. Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the pan. Let it sit undisturbed for 20-30 seconds until edges start to set.
  4. Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, forming soft folds. Repeat every 15 seconds until eggs are mostly set but still glossy and slightly runny, about 3-4 minutes total.
  5. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of everything bagel seasoning evenly over the eggs. Gently fold it in once or twice to distribute the flavor without breaking the eggs too much.
  6. Remove the pan from heat while eggs are still a little soft; they will continue cooking from residual heat.
  7. Transfer to a plate, garnish with chopped fresh chives if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Cook on medium-low heat to keep eggs moist and creamy. Do not over-whisk to retain cottage cheese texture. Add seasoning after eggs start to set to keep crunch. Remove eggs from heat while slightly soft to avoid rubbery texture. For extra fluffiness, beat egg whites separately before folding in yolks and cottage cheese.
