Instructions

Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until the yolks and whites are well combined.
Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat.
Add the butter or oil to the pan and allow it to melt and heat up.
Once the butter is melted or the oil is heated, pour the whisked eggs into the pan. Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed for a moment until the edges start to set.
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges towards the center of the pan. Continue to push and fold the eggs gently, allowing the uncooked portion to flow to the edges of the pan.
When the eggs are still slightly runny but mostly cooked, add the cottage cheese to the pan. Gently fold the cottage cheese into the eggs, distributing it evenly throughout.
Sprinkle salt and pepper over the eggs and cottage cheese mixture according to your taste preferences. Keep in mind that cottage cheese can be slightly salty, so adjust the salt accordingly.
Continue to gently scramble the eggs and cottage cheese until the eggs are fully cooked but still moist and slightly creamy. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become dry.
Once the scrambled eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the pan from the heat. Transfer the scrambled eggs and cottage cheese mixture to serving plates.
If desired, sprinkle the chopped fresh herbs over the scrambled eggs for added flavor and a touch of color.
Serve the cottage cheese and scrambled eggs while they're still warm. They can be enjoyed on their own, with keto toast, or as part of a larger breakfast spread.
