Tips
Depending on how you stir them, you can achieve slightly differently textured cottage cheese scrambled eggs. The method we have suggested in this recipe, where you are instructed to stir them thoroughly throughout the cook, is known as British style and produces scrambled eggs with a fine, soft texture.
Tips
If you enjoy more textured ones with larger curds, you can instead cook them American style. This method entails scooping the scrambled eggs with cottage cheese towards the middle of the frying pan as they begin to set. Rather than stirring them throughout the cook, you simply use a spatula to pull the edges towards the middle as they set, repeating this process until they are cooked.

Pamper classic scrambled eggs with cottage cheese
Scrambled eggs are known for their delightfully tender texture. They are soft without being too soft, meaning they have a bit of texture and are fluffy without being spongy. But what if we told you that there is an easy way to make this soft, rich dish even tenderer? The answer is to pair scrambled eggs with cottage cheese by using it as a creamy topping.
Tangy, salty, and rich cottage cheese
Soft, white cottage cheese is known for its creamy consistency and almost pearl-like appearance with a fresh and tangy flavour. In addition, it is also slightly sweet as well as salty.
Its complex flavour profile makes it a wonderful addition to many different dishes. It also makes scrambled eggs and cottage cheese a great combination as it makes the dish even richer, softer in texture, and, thus, more delicious.
Make a simple and delicious breakfast
Eggs, no matter in which form we are talking about, make for wonderful meals. Scrambled eggs with cottage cheese are no exception! As such, it is the perfect meal to start the day.
It is also a great option as the 'main course' of a brunch selection with different sweet and savoury dishes as they are easy to prepare for many people. You can serve them with slices of textured Danish rye bread or crispy sourdough bread to give them a bit of textural contrast.
Add bacon, herbs, and vegetables
To play up the natural saltiness of the cottage cheese while also adding a bit of texture to the soft dish, try sprinkling it with crumbled bacon. Its saltiness will enhance the dish’s flavours and cut through its richness.
Scrambled eggs with cottage cheese also taste great with a side of vegetables. Try options like fried tomatoes for tang, sautéed mushrooms and spinach for meaty umami and a bit of bitterness, or lightly fried yellow peppers and shallots for sweetness, umami, and crunch.
If you are looking for ways to brighten these scrambled eggs with cottage cheese, the best way to do so is by using slightly bitter and peppery fresh herbs like watercress, parsley, and basil in addition to the chives we have included in our cottage cheese scrambled eggs recipe.
