Directions

1. Sauté veggies in a medium skillet with a teaspoon of olive oil. Place in a medium-sized bowl.
2. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil to skillet, add eggs, cottage cheese and stir over medium heat.
3. When eggs are partially cooked, add sautéed veggies. Cook until eggs are just set. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and desired toppings.

Cook's Note

Combining eggs with cottage cheese is a fantastic way to create a high-protein, incredibly creamy breakfast. The cottage cheese melts into the eggs as they cook, resulting in a fluffy texture without adding a noticeable or "lumpy" cheese taste.

Serve over some brown rice or in a warmed whole wheat tortilla or pita bread for a complete meal.

Try with spinach, kale, chard, peppers, peas, onion, summer squash or mushrooms.
