Method
Whisk the eggs with the cottage cheese, salt and pepper until mostly smooth.
Melt the butter in a non-stick pan over low heat.
Pour in the eggs and stir gently with a spatula for 3 to 4 minutes, until soft curds form.
Take the pan off the heat while the eggs still look a little wet. They will finish cooking on the plate.
Top with chives and serve with toast.
Tips
- Keep the heat low; high heat makes the eggs rubbery.
- Whisking the cottage cheese first gives a smoother texture.
