Ingredients
  

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp butter divided
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • pinch of paprika
  • freshly chopped chives

To Serve:

  • mashed avocado on toast
  • freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika until fully combined.
  • Place the pan over medium-low heat and add 1/2 tbsp butter. Stir continuously with a rubber spatula, making sure to scrape the bottom and sides as the eggs start to thicken.
  • Every 30 seconds, remove the pan from the heat while continuing to stir. After 10 seconds off the heat, return it to the heat and repeat the process. This prevents overcooking and keeps the eggs creamy.
  • When the eggs are nearly set but still soft and slightly runny, add the remaining 1/2 tbsp butter. Stir gently until just cooked through but still glossy and silky. Remove from heat immediately.
  • Spoon the scrambled eggs over mashed avocado on toast, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped chives.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

Scrambled eggs are best enjoyed immediately after cooking. They don't reheat well as they can become rubbery, so it's best to make only what you'll eat right away.
