A quick and nutritious breakfast scramble combining eggs, cottage cheese, and fresh greens for a protein-packed start to your day.

3 large eggs
0.5 cup cottage cheese (any fat %)
0.5 cup fresh spinach (or kale/arugula/herbs)
0.25 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
to taste Salt & freshly cracked black pepper
0.5 tsp butter or olive oil (for cooking)
optional Optional toppings (avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, red pepper flakes, hot sauce)

Whisk eggs until smooth. Prepare cottage cheese, shred cheese, and wash spinach.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil.
Pour eggs into the pan; cook until edges set, then gently stir to form large curds.
When eggs are halfway cooked, fold in cottage cheese and spinach.
Cook for 1-2 more minutes, then top with shredded cheese and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

For a creamier texture, blend cottage cheese before adding.
