A quick and easy scrambled eggs recipe enhanced with cottage cheese for creaminess and topped with everything bagel seasoning for a flavorful, high-protein breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • ½ cup (120g) small-curd cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) milk (whole, 2%, or dairy-free like oat milk)
  • 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • Fresh chives or parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Crack 4 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add ½ cup (120g) of small-curd cottage cheese and 2 tablespoons (30ml) milk. Whisk gently but thoroughly until the mixture is well combined but still slightly lumpy from the cottage cheese (about 2 minutes).
  2. Season the egg mixture with 1 teaspoon of everything bagel seasoning and a pinch of black pepper. Stir once more to distribute the seasoning evenly.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil. Let it melt and coat the pan evenly (about 1 minute).
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the warm pan. Let it sit undisturbed for about 15 seconds until edges start to set while the center remains slightly runny.
  5. Begin gentle folding with a silicone spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center. Keep the heat low and fold slowly to avoid overcooking (about 2-3 minutes). The eggs should stay creamy and soft.
  6. When the eggs are mostly set but still moist and glossy, remove the pan from heat immediately. Residual heat will finish cooking them without drying out (total cook time about 4-5 minutes).
  7. Plate the eggs and sprinkle a little extra everything bagel seasoning on top. Add chopped fresh chives or parsley if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

Use low heat to avoid dry, rubbery eggs. Do not over-mix to keep some cottage cheese curds intact for creaminess. Remove from heat when eggs are slightly underdone to finish cooking with residual heat. Non-stick skillet recommended for best results. For dairy-free, substitute cottage cheese with thick unsweetened coconut yogurt or vegan cream cheese and use plant-based milk.
