Start your morning with a protein-packed twist on classic scrambled eggs that’s both creamy and satisfying. The secret ingredient – cottage cheese – melts right into the eggs creating the most luxuriously fluffy texture while boosting the protein content of your breakfast. I discovered this combination during my health-conscious college years, and it’s remained my go-to breakfast ever since, especially on busy weekday mornings when I need sustained energy. Perfect for meal prep too – just portion the egg-cottage cheese mixture into containers the night before, and you’ll have a quick, nutritious breakfast ready to cook in minutes when you wake up!
