Instructions

Spray a nonstick skillet with extra light olive oil or ghee.
Crack eggs into a liquid measuring cup, and using a whisk, beat them until egg yolks and whites are thoroughly combined.
Once pan has preheated, add in the eggs. Use a spatula to scrape the edges and bottom of the skillet often until eggs are set with no visible moisture.
Add in the cottage cheese and a small pinch of salt, stirring and mixing them into the eggs.
Transfer to a plate and serve topped with freshly ground black pepper and snipped chives or thinly sliced green onions.
I personally like to serve these eggs onto of a crispy hash brown patty.
