Cottage Cheese Scrambled Eggs

This recipe for cottage cheese scrambled eggs is how I add 18 grams of protein to breakfast using simple ingredients. You just need eggs, cottage cheese, a little oil for the pan, and whatever seasonings you like. The cottage cheese melts into the eggs and makes them extra fluffy. I make it for busy mornings and meal prep because it's fast and actually keeps me full. Ready in under 10 minutes!

If regular scrambled eggs leave you hungry an hour later, cottage cheese is the fix. I also add garlic powder, chili flakes, and chive flakes because they give flavor, tone down the eggy taste from the eggs, and balance the mild, milky taste from the cottage cheese. Serve them with fresh fruit, vegetables, toast, or avocado for a balanced breakfast that will keep you satisfied throughout the morning.
