Open in Pepper →Cottage Cheese Makes Scrambled Eggs Soft
Cottage cheese melts into eggs as they cook and keeps the curds tender instead of rubbery. It is a cheap trick that turns three eggs into breakfast that actually holds you until lunch.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on mornings when everyone needs to eat something warm before the bus comes, and on Sundays when they are cooking ahead for the week.
Every recipe here is built on eggs and a skillet or a muffin tin: cottage cheese egg bites with bacon, Creamy Cottage Cheese Scrambled Eggs, a meal prep scramble with sausage, spinach and cheddar, Southwest eggs with jalapeños, and triple cheddar eggs with cream.
Quick Tips
- 1
Keep the heat low
Cook eggs over medium-low for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often. High heat squeezes out water and makes them weep.
- 2
Stir cottage cheese in early
Whisk about 1/4 cup cottage cheese into the raw eggs so it melts evenly instead of sitting in cold lumps.
- 3
Pull them off underdone
Take the pan off the burner when the eggs still look slightly wet; they finish cooking in about 30 seconds from residual heat.
- 4
Bake egg bites in water
Set the muffin tin in a larger pan with 1 inch of hot water and bake at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes for a custardy center.
