Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs Use fresh, large eggs for best results.
  • 0.25 cup milk Or any milk alternative like almond or soy milk.
  • 0.5 cup cottage cheese For added protein and creamy texture.
  • 0.25 tsp Salt Adjust to your personal preference.
  • 0.25 tsp Pepper Freshly ground black pepper is recommended.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter For cooking, adds richness.
Optional Toppings
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley For garnish and fresh flavor.
  • 0.25 cup diced tomatoes Adds a burst of freshness and color.
  • 1 cup spinach Wilt into the eggs for added greens.
  • 0.25 cup onion Finely diced for a savory crunch.
  • 0.25 cup cheese Shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite.

Equipment

  • Medium-sized bowl
  • Non-stick frying pan
  • Spatula
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them vigorously with the milk and cottage cheese until smooth. Add salt and pepper as desired.
  2. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat, and add olive oil or butter. Allow it to heat until shimmering but not smoking.
  3. Add the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the heated pan. Let it sit for about 20-30 seconds without stirring.
  4. Start Scrambling: Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges toward the center. Continue this for 2-3 minutes until the eggs begin to thicken but are still slightly runny.
  5. Add Extras: If you’re using any optional toppings (like spinach or tomatoes), add them when the eggs are nearly cooked, about one minute before finishing.
  6. Remove from Heat: When the eggs are still soft and slightly undercooked, remove them from the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking them.
  7. Serve Immediately: Transfer to plates and garnish with fresh herbs or cheese if desired. These straightforward instructions ensure you achieve the best possible results with minimal effort.
