20+ Cottage Cheese Recipes
This scrambled eggs with cottage cheese recipe is one of my favorite, easy cottage cheese recipes to make.
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, salt and pepper. Stir in the cottage cheese.
- Heat the butter over medium heat in a medium skillet.
- Carefully pour the whisked eggs and cottage cheese mixture into the center of the pan and allow them to cook without stirring.
- When the edges start to set, use a spatula to push the cooked eggs on the outer edges toward the center of the pan. Continue cooking over medium heat, gently pushing the cooked eggs towards the center every few seconds until the eggs are almost cooked through, with a little liquid egg remaining. Total cook time will be about 3-5 minutes.
- Serve with chives, tomatoes and toast if desired.
Notes
My Top Tip: Rely more on the look than the time. Because cottage cheese brands vary in moisture content, the time ranges in the directions below are suggestions. (I use Good Culture) I recommend swirling the pan around to make sure there’s no more leftover liquid because it’s hard to tell if the liquid is from the cottage cheese or the eggs.
Storage: Scrambled eggs with cottage cheese are best eaten right after cooking. Since they’re soft and creamy, that texture doesn’t hold up well once cooled. But if you do have leftovers, let them cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them gently over low heat on the stovetop or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring between each to prevent overcooking. Freezing is not recommended.
