Feel free to adjust either up or down based on how many people you are serving \u2013 it\u2019s great for brunch! You can also do a combination of eggs and egg whites (or all egg whites) if you\u2019d like.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cottage Cheese:<\/strong> I like to use 2% cottage cheese for this recipe, but you can use low-fat cottage cheese or full fat \u2013 depending on what aligns best with your diet. Full fat cottage cheese will make richer scrambled eggs. I liked these with 1\/3 cup cottage cheese, but you can use up to 1\/2 cup for 4 eggs. If you\u2019re not a fan of the texture of cottage cheese use small curd cottage cheese for these eggs.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt &amp; Pepper: <\/strong>enhance the flavor of the scrambled eggs.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chives:<\/strong> I like to finish these eggs with a bit of fresh herbs like chopped chives for color and flavor.

Any of your favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/gethealthyu.com\/6-foods-fight-inflammation\/\" data-lasso-id=\"75454\">anti-inflammatory<\/a> veggies can be added: spinach, broccoli, bell peppers, onion, mushrooms, zucchini, and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Try Different Seasonings:<\/strong> add more flavor to your eggs by mixing some garlic powder, onion powder, or even an herb blend like Italian seasoning. I always like to add these during the whisking step before cooking.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Add Cheese:<\/strong> if you want extra cheesy eggs, you can add some shredded cheese like cheddar or monterey jack.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Add a Sauce:<\/strong> want to take your eggs to the next level? Serve these cottage cheese eggs with a bit of sauce like pesto, chili crisp, hot sauce, or salsa.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-scrambled-eggs-with-cottage-cheese\">How to Make Scrambled Eggs with Cottage Cheese<\/h2>\n<p>This healthy scrambled eggs with cottage cheese recipe is simple to put together in a few steps.
