Scrambled eggs with cottage cheese are a creamy breakfast made with 6 eggs for 2 servings, with a tub of cottage cheese stirred in at the end instead of cream. Stir the eggs over low heat just until almost set, then let the residual heat finish cooking them after adding the cottage cheese so they stay soft.
They are ready in 10 minutes. Based on calculations from the ingredients, each serving has about 29 g of protein and 330 calories, not including bread or vegetables for serving.

Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
Beat the eggs
3 minBeat the eggs with a fork along with the salt and pepper, just until the yolks and whites are combined. Slice the scallions into rounds.
Sauté the scallions
2 minHeat the oil in a wide nonstick skillet and briefly sauté most of the scallions over low heat.
Scramble the eggs
3 minPour in the eggs and use a wooden spoon to slowly push them from the edges toward the center until almost set but still glossy and soft.
Stir in the cottage cheese
2 minRemove the skillet from the heat, stir in the cottage cheese, and let it warm through in the residual heat for 1 minute. Do not cook the cottage cheese further, as it would release whey and make the eggs watery.
Serve
Serve immediately, sprinkled with the remaining scallions, with a tomato or a slice of dark bread.
Tip: If there is a lot of liquid in the tub, drain it off; take the eggs off the heat while still soft, as they will finish setting on the plate. Nutritional values are calculated from the ingredients and are approximate.
