The second time I made this I added a spoonful of miso paste to the cottage cheese. Tasty addition.

Really filling protein rich breakfast. Using the "one more" habit, I added a teaspoon of peanut butter. don't know if it added anything to the flavour but it did no harm. Sprinkled pumpkin and sunflower seeds. This may well become a regular upgrade to my normal scrambled eggs. Probably use mushrooms or tomatoes.

Quite nice. Needs something to jazz it up a bit. Next time I will stir a teaspoon of harissa paste into the egg and cottage cheese.

Absolutely yumm! The cottage cheese adds a lovely texture to a regular scrambo with the added benefit of extra protein.

Loved the simple ingredients and a great way to get more protein in a quick, tasty lunch. Adding the cottage cheese did make it quite watery & that liquid didn't evaporate off, but it was easy to leave the excess liquid behind when serving, so all worked out fine!

An innovative twist on scrambled egg, I liked it! And liked how quick it was to cook

Something different to plain scrambled eggs on toast for breakfast. The spinach and tomatoes really added a freshness to the eggs. And the cottage cheese made the eggs very creamy. I was worried they'd be too runny initially, but they incorporated well & the eggs firmed up. For 2 of us the servings were bigger than we were used to! However I'd definitely make it again.

Great taste

After I added the cottage cheese it became really watery - it was normal cottage cheese from Sainsburys - and I had to drain it quite a bit before using. Tasted lovely though.

It was easy to make. I added some chili flakes for heat.
