Ingredients (1 serving)
- Cook
- egg (large)150 g
- cottage cheese 4% fullfat80 g
- salt0.5 g
- pepper0.5 g
Instructions
-
Mix Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, add the cottage cheese, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Tip: Use a bowl with room — vigorous whisking aerates the eggs for fluffier curds.
-
Mix Whisk briskly for 20-30 seconds until the cottage cheese is broken up and the mixture looks pale yellow and uniform. Tip: A few small lumps of curd are fine — they melt as the eggs cook.
-
Cook Heat a nonstick skillet over low heat for about 1 minute, then add a small knob of butter and let it melt and coat the pan, 15-30 seconds. Tip: Low heat is the whole game — high heat gives rubbery, weeping eggs.
-
Cook Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit untouched for 5-10 seconds so a thin layer just begins to set.
-
Cook Stir continuously with a silicone spatula, pulling cooked curds from the edges to the center, until the eggs are softly set but still glossy, 2-4 minutes. Tip: Pull the pan off the heat 30 seconds before they look done — carryover finishes the cook.
-
Serve Slide the eggs onto a plate immediately and top with fresh herbs, salsa, or hot sauce if desired.
