Equipment
- 1 non-stick skillet
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 whisk or fork
- 1 spatula
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper

Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, then whisk until well combined.
- In a non-stick skillet, heat the butter or olive oil over medium heat until melted and hot.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, allowing them to cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds.
