Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Cottage Cheese Scrambled Eggs
  1. In a mixing bowl, crack open 3 large eggs. Whisk vigorously until yolks and whites are completely combined and slightly frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add in 1/2 cup small curd cottage cheese, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper to the whisked eggs. Fold ingredients together until evenly mixed.
  3. Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 teaspoon unsalted butter. Allow butter to melt completely.
  4. Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the skillet. Start gently stirring from edges towards center for about 3-4 minutes until eggs form soft curds.
  5. Continue stirring gently until eggs are just set and tender. Remove from heat while still glistening and soft.
  6. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with finely chopped fresh chives. Serve warm.
