Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs Use fresh eggs for the best taste and texture.
  • 1/3 cup cottage cheese Adjust the amount for more or less creaminess.
  • 1 tablespoon milk or water For a creamier texture.
  • 1 teaspoon butter or olive oil For cooking.
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper Adjust to taste.
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives or fresh parsley For garnish.
  • 2 slices toasted sourdough or whole-grain bread For serving.

Method

Preparation

  • Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together with milk or water, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  • Gently stir in the cottage cheese, making sure to keep the curds mostly whole for a creamy texture.

Cooking

  • Warm a nonstick skillet over low to medium-low heat and add the butter or olive oil.
  • Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit for a few seconds before gently folding with a spatula.
  • Continue cooking slowly, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center until soft curds form.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat while the eggs still look slightly glossy.

Serving

  • Sprinkle with chives or parsley and serve immediately over toast.
