Let’s talk about eggs!
Eggs are an amazing keto food choice. They are a low calorie and low carb food which contain an impressive amount of nutrients. Eggs provide us with a source of calcium, choline, folate, lutein, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, zinc, and with vitamins A, B, D, E, and K. One of the wonderful things about eggs is the number of different ways you can make them. They can be baked, fried, boiled, poached, or scrambled. And within these categories, you can choose to fry your eggs to your desired level of doneness. You can also choose to soft, medium, or hard boil your eggs. You can use eggs to make some incredible main dish casseroles, egg casseroles, frittatas, omelets, or scrambles.
Are these cottage cheese scrambled eggs difficult to make?
This is a quick and easy dish to make, but there are few things you can do to ensure yours turn out perfectly every time! First, you’ll want to add your eggs to a small mixing bowl and whisk them until they’re nicely blended. Then add your cottage cheese, salt, and pepper and whisk to combine. I find one of the best ways to ensure your eggs come out with a soft and fluffy texture is to cook them over medium low heat. I use a spatula to stir my eggs while cooking. You’ll want to remove your eggs from the heat when they are almost cooked through as they’ll continue to cook a bit after you remove them from the heat. You can give your eggs a taste and add more salt and pepper if desired.
How can I serve these cottage cheese scrambled eggs?
You have some fun and delicious low carb options for serving these eggs. You have some great topping choices for these eggs. Fresh chopped parsley, shredded cheese, or sour cream are all good options. You can also top your eggs with salsa or chopped olives. If you’d like to add some heat, diced jalapenos would be a nice addition. If you’d like, you can add your favorite keto bread, biscuits, or English muffins to these eggs. You can also add a side of meat such as bacon, turkey bacon, or sausage to this dish. These scrambled eggs would make a terrific addition to any brunch menu! They would also work well for a nice lunch option, served with a keto soup or salad, or as a fun breakfast for dinner choice!
