Method

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients.

2

Place half of the oil in a frying pan. Add the eggs with a sprinkle of salt and pepper and cook, scrambling as you go, until nearly set. Then add the cottage cheese and cook for a further minute, until incorporated and piping hot. When you add the cheese you may have watery eggs for a moment - keep cooking until most of the liquid evaporates.
