Ingredients In Scrambled Eggs with Cottage Cheese
Here’s what you need to make this easy breakfast recipe:
Eggs – In this recipe we’re making two breakfast servings, so you’ll want to use four large eggs. Cottage Cheese – I’ve found that a half cup of cottage cheese is the perfect amount to mix into four scrambled eggs. Use your favorite brand. Full fat tastes the best, but you can use low fat too. Butter – I like to scramble eggs with a bit of butter. It adds flavor and helps keep the eggs from sticking to the pan. Seasonings – Salt and pepper is all you need to make these cheesy eggs taste amazing! Feel free to sprinkle on some fresh parsley too.

Recipe Tips
Adjust the Serving Size: As written, this recipe serves two people, two eggs each. To cook scrambled eggs and cottage cheese for one, use 2 eggs and ¼ cup cottage cheese. You can also easily double the recipe as needed! A Non-Stick pan is key to cooking the best eggs. Don’t try to make this recipe in a stainless steel pan if you can avoid it. Other Seasonings to Try: garlic powder, smoked or regular paprika or hot sauce are all delicious with eggs. To Add Veggies: Sautee onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach in the pan before adding the egg mixture.
Storing Tips
Scrambled eggs are best enjoyed right away after cooking them, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat scrambled eggs with cottage cheese, warm them gently on the stove, just until heated through so that you don’t overcook them.
