Creamy Scrambled Eggs (1 serving)
This version makes exactly 1 single, nutrient-dense breakfast portion.By cracking just two eggs and using less cottage cheese, it is perfectly portioned for a small-appetite morning, meaning zero cold leftover eggs are left wasting away in your fridge.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ½ tbsp smooth low-fat cottage cheese, approx. 40g
- cooking spray, or butter
- salt and pepper, to taste
- a sprinkle of fresh chives for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Crack your 2 eggs into a small bowl or mug. Add the 2½ tablespoons of smooth cottage cheese. Whisk vigorously with a fork for a full 60 seconds until the mixture is completely combined, uniform, and slightly frothy.
- Heat a small non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat and coat it with a light layer of cooking spray.
- Pour the egg mixture into the warm pan. Let it sit completely still for about 15 to 20 seconds so the bottom begins to set.
- Using a silicone spatula, gently push and sweep the eggs from the outer edges into the center to form soft, pillowy folds.
- Keep moving the eggs gently over low heat for about 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the stove while the eggs still look slightly glossy and wet.
- Slide them onto a warm plate immediately. The residual heat will finish cooking them to a perfect, velvety texture. Season with a tiny pinch of salt, a grind of black pepper, and fresh chives if desired.
