Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 0.67 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon chives finely chopped
  • everything seasoning to taste
  • sea salt to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Large frying pan
  • Silicone spatula

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, gently whisk the eggs together. Whisk in the cottage cheese and chives until mixed. There will be cottage cheese lumps in the mixture.
  2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, slowly pour in the eggs and allow it to sit, undisturbed, for about 30 seconds.
  3. Gently using a spatula, lift and fold the eggs and give them a gentle stir. Let sit again for about 30 seconds and give it a gentle stir again.
  4. Repeat until the eggs are just cooked.
  5. Serve warm. Top with sea salt, black pepper or everything seasoning, as desired.

Notes

Go easy on the salt as cottage cheese is naturally salty. Use a silicone spatula to prevent sticking. If eggs cook too quickly, reduce heat to medium-low. It's okay for cottage cheese lumps to remain - they'll melt during cooking.
