Print Recipe

A quick and customizable high-protein egg breakfast packed with veggies and creamy cottage cheese for a nourishing start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup skim milk or almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
  • 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or feta)
  • Optional: 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • Optional: Fresh herbs like parsley or chives
  • Optional: A dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Gather and prep all ingredients: chop the onion, dice the bell pepper, and roughly chop the spinach.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until soft and fragrant.
  5. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  6. Lower the heat and pour the egg mixture over the vegetables.
  7. Gently stir with a spatula to form soft curds as the eggs cook.
  8. Once eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, fold in cottage cheese and optional shredded cheese.
  9. Continue cooking until cheese melts and eggs are fully cooked but still moist.
  10. Remove from heat and serve topped with avocado slices and fresh herbs, if desired.

Notes

Cook eggs slowly over low heat for the best creamy texture. Avoid high heat to prevent rubbery eggs. Whisk eggs well to add air and fluffiness. Customize with seasonal vegetables or favorite spices.
