Super-Protein-Power-Packed Cottage Cheese Scrambled Eggs

planetshark

Here's my "Basic Recipe for Super-Protein-Power-Packed Cottage Cheese Scrambled Eggs" ...

Combine 1/3 cup egg whites, 1 or 2 whole eggs, 1/4 cup cottage cheese, 2-3 TBS Parmesan cheese & the spices/seasonings of your choice (I love crushed red pepper + Frank's hot sauce ... Then cook over medium heat stirring often (in a non-stick pan - lightly coated with oil).

Sometimes I also add spinach (or whatever produce I have on hand) which amps up the nutrients even more ...

Other times I replace the Parmesan with a little sharp cheddar & add jalapenos (and/or salsa) and make a super healthy protein-packed breakfast burrito ...

** Even if you LOATHE cottage cheese, since it melts into the eggs (much like ricotta does with lasagna), you'll love this ... Trust me! ~ It's delish and super healthy!

That does sound good! Filling too. Wrap it all in a tortilla with tomatoe chunks and raw spinach, onion and it ought to hold me a little while

Thanks for sharing!

OMG BUMP.

I have some cottage cheese leftover from a faux bechamel that I made the other day. I've been wondering what to do with it. Brilliant!

I am eating this RIGHT NOW. Thank you!!

PS: I use no-salt added cottage cheese, which tastes like absolutely nothing but is a great source of protein. This is a brilliant idea!
