Ingredients
- 2 Large eggs
- 1/3 cup Egg whites if you want
- 1/4 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
- 2 tbsp Sharp cheddar cheese grated
- Toast if you like
Instructions
- Spray a pan with cooking spray or grease it with butter, then heat it on medium-low.
- Crack the eggs and egg whites (if you’re using them) into the pan, and whisk them together. Add some salt and pepper if you want.
- Keep stirring until the eggs are cooked just right. Then, take the pan off the heat and stir in the cottage cheese and cheddar cheese.

Why Are My Eggs Watery?
Your eggs might be watery because of the type of cottage cheese you used. Try using a thicker cottage cheese, like Good Culture, and give it a stir before adding it to your eggs.
How Can I Stop My Eggs From Sticking?
Use a good nonstick pan or grease a regular pan with cooking spray or butter. Cook on medium-low heat and stir often to prevent sticking.
Can I Use All Whole Eggs Instead of Egg Whites?
Yes, you can! Just swap out the egg whites for more whole eggs. Or mix one whole egg with extra egg whites for a lower-fat option. But keep at least some whole eggs for best results. Adjust the ratio to fit your preferences.
