Description
A fluffy, creamy high-protein breakfast combining egg whites and cottage cheese. Quick, customizable, and packed with savory flavor for a satisfying start to your day.
Ingredients
8 large egg whites (about 240 ml)
½ cup (120 g) low-fat or full-fat cottage cheese (small curd)
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Beat egg whites in a bowl with a fork or whisk until slightly frothy.
Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add seasoned egg whites to the pan and cook gently, stirring occasionally.
Sprinkle cottage cheese into the scramble, folding it in until fully incorporated.
Cook for 5 minutes or until egg whites are fully set but still moist.

Use full-fat cottage cheese for a richer texture.
Serve with a sprinkle of feta cheese or a dollop of salsa for flavor.
