Cottage Cheese Eggs Recipe

This cottage cheese eggs recipe is a simple yet tasty way to change up your regular egg routine. The extra creaminess from the cottage cheese makes every bite feel like a treat without sacrificing your protein goals.

These cottage cheese eggs pair perfectly with a slice of toasted bread for a balanced, satisfying meal. I personally love them with a thick slice of sourdough or whole-grain toast, topped with smashed avocado for extra creaminess and healthy fats. The combination of the warm, fluffy eggs with the rich avocado and crispy toast is unbeatable. Add a sprinkle of chili flakes on top for a little extra flavor!

Why These Cottage Cheese Scrambled Eggs Rock:

• Packed with Protein: The combination of eggs and cottage cheese makes these scrambled eggs a perfect post-workout meal or high-protein breakfast to keep you fueled throughout the day.
• Quick and Easy: With just a few ingredients and minimal prep time, you can have a satisfying, protein-rich meal in under 10 minutes.
• Customizable: Add your favorite spices or toppings to make it your own. A bit of paprika, some shredded cheese, or even a handful of spinach can take these scrambled eggs to the next level.

What you’ll need

Eggs: Eggs provide high-quality protein and healthy fats. For those who prefer lower-fat options, egg whites can be used, but the texture will be less rich.

Cottage Cheese: If you prefer a smoother scramble, you can blend the cottage cheese for a more uniform consistency, but I personally like the slight texture it adds to the eggs.

Olive Oil

Salt and Pepper: Feel free to get creative with other spices like garlic powder, paprika, or even a dash of hot sauce for some extra kick.

How to make this recipe

Combine Eggs and Cottage Cheese: Crack the 4 eggs into a bowl and add the 1/2 cup of cottage cheese right into the bowl with them. Use a whisk to blend them together thoroughly. This will give your scrambled eggs a thicker, creamier texture as the cottage cheese is incorporated into the eggs.

Heat the Oil: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the tablespoon of oil. Let it heat up until shimmering, but not smoking.

Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the heated skillet. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula to move the eggs around. As the eggs begin to set, continue stirring occasionally, making sure the mixture stays soft and creamy. The cottage cheese will melt into the eggs, creating a rich, smooth texture.

Season: Once the eggs are cooked to your liking (soft and creamy is ideal), season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve: Serve immediately for a warm, fluffy dish. You can sprinkle some fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or even a dash of paprika for an extra pop of flavor.

Meal Prep & Storage Tips

Meal Prep: You can cook a larger batch of scrambled eggs and store them in the fridge for a few days. Since the cottage cheese keeps the eggs moist, they’ll hold up well even after reheating.

Storage: Once cooked, allow the scrambled eggs to cool to room temperature before placing them in the fridge. They can be stored in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Use airtight containers to store your scrambled eggs in the fridge. Glass containers work best for keeping the eggs fresh, but any container with a tight lid will do.

Reheating: When ready to eat, simply reheat the scrambled eggs in the microwave. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, to avoid overcooking. You can also reheat the eggs on the stove over low heat. Add a splash of water or a bit of butter to help bring back the creaminess.
