Can I Make Baked Scrambled Eggs With Cottage Cheese Ahead Of Time?

Yes! I make a double batch every Sunday for the week. Just cool them completely, store in the fridge, and reheat gently. They taste almost as good as fresh.

Will The Cottage Cheese Make My Eggs Watery?

Not if you use full-fat cottage cheese and drain off any extra liquid before adding it. Low-fat versions tend to be wetter, so stick with full-fat for the best creamy texture.

Can Kids Taste The Cottage Cheese In This Recipe?

Nope, and trust me, I've tested this on Jessica and all her picky friends. The curds melt right in, so kids just think the eggs are extra soft and fluffy.

What's The Best Pan For Baked Scrambled Eggs With Cottage Cheese?

A good non-stick skillet is my top pick. It prevents sticking and helps you control the heat. A well-seasoned cast iron pan works too, but you'll need a bit more butter.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, then add the cottage cheese, salt, and pepper.
Whisk everything together until the yolks and whites blend fully, leaving small cottage cheese curds.
Set a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter gently.
Pour the egg mixture into the warm skillet.
Using a rubber spatula, slowly push the eggs from the edges toward the middle, letting the uncooked eggs flow to the hot surface.
Keep stirring gently every 30 seconds for about 5 to 6 minutes, until medium soft.
Remove from heat while the eggs still look slightly glossy, since they keep cooking off the stove.
Slide the eggs onto plates and sprinkle with sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

Stick with full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture, as low-fat versions can make the eggs watery. Keep the heat gentle to avoid browning, and pull the eggs off just before they look fully set.
