Description
Turn your favourite breakfast into a high protein option! These high protein scrambled eggs are a perfect breakfast, lunch, or post-workout snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- optional: olive oil, butter, salt and pepper, salsa, green onion for topping
Instructions
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, crack the eggs one at a time. Add in the cottage cheese and use a whisk to thoroughly mix the eggs with the cheese.
- Heat a medium sized pan up on the stove over medium heat. If you’re using butter to grease the pan, add 1 tablespoon of butter now and let it melt. If using oil or nonstick spray instead of butter, add it to the pan just before adding the eggs.
- Allow the eggs to cook in the pan for a minute or two before using a wooden spoon or spatula to stir it around gently. Don’t stir too often or the eggs will turn out mushy, but every minute or so give it a stir and scrape up the bits on the bottom.
- Once the eggs are done, they’ll be soft but not runny, with visible clumps. Turn off the heat, then ad in the cheddar cheese, folding it into the eggs until the cheese is melted.
- Optional: Add in the salt and pepper if using, or salsa. Top the eggs with green onion before serving!
