Step-by-Step Beginner-Friendly Instructions

  1. Whisk It Up: In a bowl, whisk eggs, cottage cheese (or yogurt), milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined. 🥚
  2. Heat the Pan: Add olive oil or butter to a nonstick skillet and warm over medium-low heat.
  3. Cook Slowly: Pour in the egg mixture. Let it sit for 10–15 seconds, then gently push the edges toward the center with a spatula. Continue folding softly as curds form. 🍳
  4. Finish Fluffy: Remove from heat when slightly underdone — the residual heat will finish cooking them.
  5. Serve Hot: Top with chives, spinach, or a sprinkle of cheese for extra flavor. 😋
