Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 eggs
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • ½ cup chopped spinach
  • 2 tsp pesto
  • Salt and pepper
  • Butter

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the eggs then add the cottage cheese and season with salt and pepper.

  2. In a frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Saute the spinach until it’s wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the egg mixture, gently stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon in a circular motion – scrambling the eggs as they cook. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the eggs are nearly set but still a bit wet. Remove from the heat and stir in the pesto.

  3. Serve with toast and enjoy!


Notes

Substitute cottage cheese for ricotta cheese or Greek yogurt

Substitute spinach for kale or arugula
