A quick and easy scrambled eggs recipe with creamy cottage cheese and a crunchy everything bagel, perfect for weight loss and calorie-deficit meal plans.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120 ml) full-fat cottage cheese, small-curd preferred
  • 1 everything bagel, toasted
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) olive oil (can substitute with avocado oil)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives or scallions (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) butter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice your everything bagel in half and toast it until golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, crack 3 large eggs and add ½ cup (120 ml) of cottage cheese. Whisk together until smooth but still slightly lumpy.
  3. Heat 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of olive oil over medium-low heat in a non-stick skillet.
  4. Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the pan. Let sit undisturbed for about 20 seconds, then gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center with a spatula. Continue folding every 15-20 seconds for 3-4 minutes until creamy and slightly runny but not wet.
  5. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir in chopped chives or scallions if using.
  6. Transfer the scramble onto the toasted everything bagel halves or serve on the side. Add a small pat of butter on the bagel if desired.

Notes

Cook eggs on medium-low heat to keep them tender and creamy. Avoid overcooking as eggs will continue to cook off the heat. Use full-fat cottage cheese for best creaminess. Toast the everything bagel well for a crunchy contrast. For dairy-free, substitute cottage cheese with mashed silken tofu.
