Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup 2% cottage cheese
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • olive oil spray
  • 1/16 teaspoon baking soda

Equipment

  • Medium bowl
  • stick blender or small food processor
  • fork or whisk
  • medium nonstick skillet
  • Rubber spatula

Method
 

Prepare the Egg Mixture with the Unique Twist
  1. In a medium bowl, take half of your 2% cottage cheese and blend it with a stick blender or in a small food processor until it’s completely smooth and silken. Now, add the blended cottage cheese back into the bowl with the remaining curds of cottage cheese. Crack your 4 large eggs into this mixture. Add the 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt, a generous grind of fresh ground black pepper, and that crucial 1/16 teaspoon of baking soda. Using a fork or a whisking technique, gently combine everything until just incorporated. The goal is to mix thoroughly but gently, avoiding over-aeration.
Heat the Skillet
  1. Place a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. This gentle heat is key to preventing rubbery eggs. Once the skillet is warm (a drop of water should sizzle gently and evaporate), spray it lightly with olive oil spray, ensuring the entire cooking surface is coated.
Cook to Perfection
  1. Pour the egg mixture into the warm skillet. Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds as the bottom just begins to set. Then, using a rubber spatula, slowly and gently scrape sections of the eggs from the edges to the center of the pan. Continue this folding eggs technique, creating beautiful, soft folds. Cook for approximately 1 ½ to 2 minutes total, or until the eggs are just set. They should still look slightly moist and custardy, not dry.
Serve Immediately
  1. As soon as the eggs are just set to your liking—still gloriously soft and creamy—remove from the heat immediately. Do not let them linger in the hot pan. Serve your fluffy, delicious High Protein Scrambled Eggs right away for the best texture and flavor.
