The recipe in 15 seconds

Method

  1. Whisk the eggs, cottage cheese and salt together. For extra-smooth eggs, blend them for a few seconds.

  2. Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the eggs and stir slowly with a spatula, pushing them from the edges, until softly set and creamy.

  3. Take the pan off the heat while they still look a little wet. Top with chives and black pepper.

Tips

  • Low heat is the key to soft, creamy curds.
  • Small-curd cottage cheese melts in most smoothly.
  • Serve on toast, or with tomatoes and avocado to keep it low-carb.
