Crack your eggs into a small bowl or mug. Add the 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, oil or butter.
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.
