Equipment

1 non-stick skillet
1 non-stick spatula

Ingredients

1 large egg, beaten (50g)
6 tablespoon egg whites (92g)
¼ cup lowfat cottage cheese (57g)
cooking spray
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat a medium-size nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add a beaten large egg, the egg whites, and the cottage cheese to a pan.
Stir the eggs until they're just scrambled and cooked through.
Add salt and pepper to season the eggs if desired. Serve warm with your favorite sides and enjoy!

Notes

Serve the eggs with your favorite breakfast sides like chicken sausage, turkey bacon, and fruit. These are also great on avocado toast.
The eggs will be a little softer set due to the cottage cheese liquid.
We left the cottage cheese chunky, if preferred, you can blend it in a blender for a smoother texture.
You can use this same recipe and make a cottage cheese omelet too!
