Velvety curds folding into fluffy eggs create a luscious, creamy texture enhanced by crunchy everything bagel seasoning. This quick and easy breakfast is nourishing, indulgent yet light, perfect for any morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup small-curd cottage cheese
  • 1–2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Crack 4 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add ½ cup small-curd cottage cheese. Whisk vigorously with a fork or whisk until the mixture is slightly frothy and the cottage cheese is mostly broken down but still has some texture (about 1-2 minutes).
  2. Preheat an 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and let it melt slowly, coating the pan evenly (about 2 minutes).
  3. Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for 15-20 seconds until the edges begin to set.
  4. Using a silicone spatula, gently fold the eggs from the edges toward the center. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, folding occasionally, until eggs look moist but mostly set.
  5. Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Sprinkle 1-2 teaspoons of everything bagel seasoning evenly over the eggs. Fold once more to distribute the seasoning without breaking the curds.
  6. Remove from heat while the eggs are still slightly shiny and soft; they will continue to cook in residual heat (total cooking time about 5-6 minutes).
  7. Transfer to a warm plate and sprinkle with finely chopped fresh chives if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use small-curd cottage cheese for best texture. Cook on medium-low heat to avoid rubbery eggs. Add everything bagel seasoning at the end to maintain crunch. Butter is essential for flavor and preventing sticking. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently on stovetop.
