Cottage Cheese Scrambled Eggs
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 to 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- salt and pepper
- green onions for garnish
- chili oil optional for heat
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, mix together your eggs and cottage cheese. Heat your pan over high heat. After a minute to two, add the avocado oil. Pour in the egg/cottage cheese mixture and let cook for a minute or 2.
- When you see the outer edge of your eggs starting to cook, use a rubber spatula to bring the eggs in (from the outer edge, in). Turn the heat down to medium and continue pushing the eggs in, and mixing and flipping if needed to let them cook. Alternatively, you can just use a rubber spatula and mix the egg/cottage cheese mixture in a circular motion to let them cook.
- When all the eggs are cooked through (to your desired doneness). Remove from the heat and plate. I like to use a paper towel to soak up any excess water/liquid from the pan so that doesn't end up on my plate. Season with salt and pepper to taste, garnish with some diced green onions and chili oil if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
I like this chili oil from Brightland.
The sausage links I used are Bilinski's chicken sausages. You can buy them at Whole Foods. I like the protein (2 links has 9 grams of protein) and little sugar that they have; only 2% added sugars. This is much lower than you will see on other sausage packages.
