High-Protein Scrambled Eggs: The Ultimate Amazing Recipe


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 large eggs
– 1/4 cup milk (or any milk alternative)
– 1/2 cup cottage cheese (for added protein)
– Salt, to taste
– Pepper, to taste
– 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
– Optional: Chopped parsley, diced tomatoes, spinach, onion, or cheese for toppings


Instructions

Follow these steps to create the perfect high-protein scrambled eggs:

1. Whisk the Eggs: In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them vigorously with the milk and cottage cheese until smooth. Add salt and pepper as desired.
2. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat, and add olive oil or butter. Allow it to heat until shimmering but not smoking.
3. Add the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the heated pan. Let it sit for about 20-30 seconds without stirring.
4. Start Scrambling: Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges toward the center. Continue this for 2-3 minutes until the eggs begin to thicken but are still slightly runny.
5. Add Extras: If you’re using any optional toppings (like spinach or tomatoes), add them when the eggs are nearly cooked, about one minute before finishing.
6. Remove from Heat: When the eggs are still soft and slightly undercooked, remove them from the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking them.
7. Serve Immediately: Transfer to plates and garnish with fresh herbs or cheese if desired.

These straightforward instructions ensure you achieve the best possible results with minimal effort.
