Ingredients
4 large pasture-raised eggs
1/2 cup full-fat cottage cheese
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1/2 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Whisk the eggs and cottage cheese together in a medium bowl until well combined.
Heat oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Pour in the egg and cottage cheese mixture.
Cook gently, stirring occasionally to create large, soft curds.
During the final minute of cooking, stir in the fresh baby spinach and halved grape tomatoes.
Remove from heat once the eggs are set but still creamy.
Season with salt and pepper, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best mouthfeel and richness. Do not overcook the eggs; removing them from the skillet while still slightly moist ensures the fluffiest texture. You can substitute fresh spinach with other greens like kale or arugula. This dish is naturally vegetarian and high in protein.
