Ingredients
1 Tbsp. lowfat butter
4 large egg whites
1 large whole egg
1/4 cup fat free cottage cheese
1 tsp. fresh chives, chopped
2 Tbsp. fat free cheddar cheese, shredded and divided
black pepper, ground to taste
OPTIONS
whole wheat toast
fat free feta
chopped tomatoes
The eggs from this recipe were creamy, delicious and packed with protein. You can punch it up by putting chopped tomatoes over the top or serving it up with whole wheat toast and some jam. For a twist, you can switch out the cheddar cheese for fat-free crumbled feta cheese.
1. Prepare all the ingredients and have them ready. This goes together quickly.
2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Then, add the butter and let it melt.
3. Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and let cook, undisturbed, until the bottom of the eggs begin to firm, about 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Add the cottage cheese and chives and mix. Cook while turning the eggs for another minute.
5. Sprinkle 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cheddar cheese over the top and season with black pepper. Mix and cook for 1 or 2 more minutes until eggs are set.
6. Put the eggs on a plate and top with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of cheddar cheese.
