High Protein Scrambled Eggs w/ Cottage Cheese
I love adding beans and avocado for fiber and adding in liquid egg whites for more protein!
Add some cottage cheese to your scrambled eggs for an easy high-protein breakfast. The results are fluffy eggs with over 17 grams of protein per serving!
Ingredients
4 large eggs
½ cup 2% cottage cheese, I like Good Culture
pinch of kosher salt and pepper
olive oil spray
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, cottage cheese and salt and pepper.
Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat with spray oil. When warm, pour in the eggs.
Using a rubber spatula, slowly scrape sections of eggs to the center of the pan as the bottom starts to set, creating soft folds for about 1 ½ to 2 minutes total until just set.
Remove from the heat and serve. Add in any toppings to enhance the flavor or nutritional content.

How to serve
Serve the eggs with whole grain toast and fresh berries.
Wrap them in a tortilla to make breakfast tacos or burritos.
Make breakfast sliders by putting the eggs in small potato buns. Add breakfast sausage or bacon for extra protein.
Finish off your eggs with your favorite toppings for a breakfast bowl.
