Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (115g) cottage cheese
- 1 tbsp (14g) unsalted butter
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) kosher salt
- 1/8 tsp (0.3g) cracked black pepper
Instructions:
- Whisk the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl until the cottage cheese is incorporated and the eggs are combined.
- Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat until it bubbles slightly but does not brown.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for 30 seconds to allow the bottom layer to set.
- Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, folding slowly to create large, velvety curds.
- Remove the pan from the heat when the eggs appear slightly underdone (wet and glossy), allowing residual heat to finish the cooking process.
