High-Protein Scrambled Eggs with Cottage Cheese

High-Protein Scrambled Eggs with Cottage Cheese
Print Recipe

Scrambled Eggs with Cottage Cheese are a protein-boosted twist on traditional scrambled eggs. Cottage cheese melts slightly when mixed with the eggs, creating a soft, creamy texture. It adds extra protein, calcium, and richness without the need for heavy cream or cheese. The result is light, flavorful eggs that are both healthy and filling.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 large eggs

  • ¼ cup (60 g) low-fat cottage cheese

  • 1 tablespoon butter (or olive oil)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives or parsley (optional, for garnish)

Optional Add-ins: 

  • ¼ cup spinach or kale, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan or cheddar

  • A pinch of chili flakes or paprika for spice

  • Sliced avocado or cherry tomatoes for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Whisk the Eggs

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk well until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy — this adds air, making the eggs lighter.

Step 2: Add the Cottage Cheese

Stir in the cottage cheese gently. You can mix it completely for a smoother texture or leave small curds for a more rustic, creamy finish.

Step 3: Heat the Pan

Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Let it melt slowly until it begins to foam but not brown.

Step 4: Cook the Eggs

Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the pan. Allow it to sit for a few seconds until the edges start to set. Using a spatula, gently stir and push the eggs from the edges toward the center, forming soft folds. Continue cooking slowly, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly glossy and creamy.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

Remove from the heat while the eggs are still soft — they’ll continue cooking from residual heat. Garnish with fresh herbs, and serve immediately.
