An easy egg dish that is full of protein! Having chickens, even in the city, is becoming common. I’ve had chickens for years and love having fresh eggs. Because I have a flock of 14, I have a lot of eggs, so it’s a good thing I love them. One of my favorite egg recipes is a simple scramble but with a protein punch. Eggs alone are high in protein with 6 grams per egg. My fluffy cottage eggs give the regular scrambled version a little extra fluff and a boost of just over 3 grams per serving. I also love adding some seasoning to the mixture to give extra flavor- ‘Everything Bagel” seasoning is one of my favorites, but you can use dried herbs, garlic or onion salt, or lemon pepper. And if you think eggs are only for breakfast, this dish is perfect for a light dinner or lunch. It’s a healthy and satisfying dish that is also quick and easy to make.
Belle’s Fluffy Cottage Eggs
4 eggs
½ cup 2% cottage cheese
Salt, pepper, and/or seasoning to taste
1 tablespoon butter or oil
Whisk the eggs, cottage cheese, and seasonings in a medium bowl with a fork or whisk. Heat the butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture in. As the bottom of the mixture starts to set, use a rubber spatula to slowly scrape the eggs and fold for about 2 minutes or until everything is set. Serve immediately.
