Creamy Cottage Cheese Scrambled Eggs
A nice change from regular scrambled eggs. These eggs come out creamy and soft. Perfect with a slice of tomato and turkey bacon for a delicious and fast low-carb breakfast.

I've made eggs this way for 40 years. I beat the cottage cheese and pepper in with the eggs and add them to the skillet at the same time, then sprinkle with the chives just before serving them. Makes fluffy scrambled eggs. Guests rave about them.
Read MoreI love scrambled eggs and I love cottage cheese so I thought this recipe would be a no brainer... But yuck. The egg emphasized the sour aftertaste of the cottage cheese. The first few bites were ok, but the more I ate, the ickier it tasted. IMHO, these two flavors are not complimentary.

Very simple - I never would have thought to add cottage cheese to scrambled eggs, but it really was good and a nice change from regular scrambled eggs. Definitely add the fresh chives. I served this with fresh tomato slices and whole grain toast. Great breakfast!
I thought this was okay and reduced it down to a 1 egg serving. My only real issues were it didnt really add extra flavor like other cheeses I have tried. It also had zero melting abilities. I even tried to further microwave it. The breakfast did keep my appetite content all morning until lunch though.
Making this for the second time. First time i made as directed and cut some cooked sausage patties in fourths and then pressed them down into the egg mixture. This time I‘m going to saute some mushrooms, onions and green pepper to add with some chopped ham. Makes a good breakfast for my husband to reheat.
I frequently add cheese to scrambled eggs but never thought to add cottage cheese! I scaled this to 1 egg, and it came out very creamy, with added volume. The chives add a delicate flavor and freshness as well. I also don't believe the cottage cheese is supposed to melt here. Thanks Kitchen Kitty for a simple and different take on scrambled eggs!
I started making eggs with cottage cheese not long ago. They are deliciously rich, creamy and flavorful when you beat the cottage cheese into the eggs before cooking them. Also, because of the salt in the cottage cheese, all you need is the pepper and whatever other herbs and spices you want to add. So trust the recipe on this. But don't fold wet cottage cheese into cooked eggs unless you just really enjoy that loose curdy texture.
Yummy, no need to add salt or shredded cheese (like I'd normally do to scrambled eggs). Extends the eggs and adds more healthy protein. "Recipe" is a keeper!
Really good way to add some protein to your eggs, but I would recommend straining the cottage cheese before. It took a while to cook off all the liquid.
Wanna make them even lighter and fluffier? Try adding 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder. I add it to all my scrambled eggs and omelets and you won't taste it at all.

Great idea, cottage cheese... I blended in finely chopped kale, red pepper, and mushroom and serves w/ toast. A HIT.
Delicious! I found it added a great flavor to the egg (I normally can't eat them without ketchup). The cottage cheese melted nicely and they were very creamy!
Remember back in the early '70's when Atkins took the stage? That's when I learned to love scrambled eggs and cottage cheese. Separately, the tasty warm eggs and the cool cottage cheese were awesome, even better with some taco/hot sauce on the eggs. Mixing the two together is delicious! It's an excellent protein punch for breakfast or lunch. Mixed together is like a whole different meal, like putting a big spoon of cottage cheese on half a hard-boiled egg. Proof this is a dynamic duo!
Made as directed. Good, quick recipe for the "I don't want to cook" nights but I think it needs a little something. Don't know what, a touch of garlic maybe or green onions instead of chives. Will definitely be making again and will experiment.
Delicious and so easy. The cottage cheese really adds a lot to ordinary scrambled eggs.
This was simple and delicious! I will be making this again, and again for sure.
Delicious! I made it with 9 eggs white, Organic coconut oil instead of butter and low fat cottage cheese. Serve 2.
Cottage cheese and eggs sounded gross to me, but I tried it anyway. Yum! This recipe is brilliant! We will definitely be making these eggs again.
Sorry. I like scrambled eggs. This just didn't taste any different than the usual made with milk. So 2 stars for taste and one more for a good low-carb suggestion. I make mine with cream cheese instead! Even creamier! Thanks for the idea!
Really good, but I used yogurt cheese instead of cottage, but I think it would be delicious with either
Unbelievable! I did not want to make these eggs. The thought of Cottage cheese in scrambled eggs grossed me out I'm sorry, I am just being honest. My husband gave me this recipe and had bought the Cottage cheese. He asked me to make it for him. I have to admit I dragged my feet. Then I made it! I was shocked! The scrambled eggs tasted like they had cheese on them. I have to say I did stir the eggs probably a bit more to cook all the liquid out. Most of the cottage cheese melted into the eggs- no they weren't dry, they were delicious!
Creamy Cottage Cheese Eggs - How can this be good? Had to give it a try and these scrambled eggs were fluffy and so very tasty. From now on when I make scrambled eggs this will be the recipe I am going to use. Oh yes, and I am keeping the secret ingredient to my self. A real five star recipe. Thanks, Rico
Very good! I added some thinly sliced pieces of yellow zucchini (just a half dozen thin slices ) and 1/2 cup thin shredded deli ham. I used light seasoning blend for spice. I’m a WW Lifetimer, so this was a perfect recipe for two!
I've been making these eggs for a long time, without the chives. I am adding those to my grocery list to try it. I pair my eggs with V8 juice and a fruit and it ties me over till lunch!
Scaled to 2 eggs. This is nummy even without the chives. I used full fat (4%) cottage cheese. Thanks for a new taste for scrambled eggs.
Great addition to scrambled eggs. Makes them nice and moist. Will definitely make again.
I love cottage cheese in my scrambled eggs it makes them absolutely delicious. They're so creamy and soft, just down right delicious!
Great creamy flavor that enhanced the typical breakfast. Hot buttered biscuits were a great complement.
The way it was presented was great. Surprised how easy it was. Second time a added a bit of turmeric. Kept the yellow color of the eggs/yoke. Used spring onions and a touch of parseley. Again...it was easy and along with bread...toasted...made a great breakfast
These are pretty good and I would definately make them again! But turkey bacon? Thats just wrong.
An excellent recipe that was full of protein. I made three minor alterations. First, I used a whipped cottage cheese so that it would spread evenly through the eggs. Second, like many others, I mixed the eggs with the cottage cheese before cooking. Third, I added a pinch of red pepper flakes for a title of heat. The recipe was nice!
It was really creamy and good. I used non fat cottage cheese
It was a nice change. I need to get the chives or green onions to push it to 5 stars!
Very good! The only change I made was I used chopped green onions instead of chives.
Its very good, I love it!! I would totally make this again for my family!
Best scrambled eggs I've ever eaten. Full of protein and tastefully satisfying. I did not add chives. This is the only way I make them now....light and fluffy!
I scrambled 3 large eggs and 1/4 cup 4% milk fat small curd cottage cheese. It was delicious.
It was ok. I added smoked ham to it to add a lot of flavor! The cottage cheese didn’t do much for taste. Either add more cottage cheese or just add ham. With the ham, it made it very tasty.
Tasty and easy. Whisked eggs, cottage cheese and pepper together then scrambled in the heated pan with butter. Did not need salt and it gave it a nice flavor. Oddly enough it didn’t make the kitchen stink like cooked eggs!
I used yokes that I had left from an angel cake, which I didn’t want to waste. Added about a quarter cup of milk.
Tasted great! No need to add salt as cottage cheese has plenty. I used eggbeaters for two of the eggs to reduce cholesterol .
I can't believe I haven't been doing this my entire life. I love this recipe because with the basic ingredients that are listed, you can play with it and make it your own. I add sliced breakfast sausage, topped with a little sharp white cheddar, and some spinach for color. Pretty fantastic, and it teaches you not to overcook your eggs, which I'm certain most of the population does!
Was good, but just scrambled eggs. I might have waited a hair too long before adding the cottage cheese because it didn't really incorporate into the eggs. Didn't expect it to melt but was like scrambled eggs with cottage cheese on top. Still, great way to boost healthy protein. Will try again for sure but will mix the eggs and cottage cheese together before adding to the fry pan. Thanks!
Used dried Parsley rather than Chive, seasoned with 1/4 tsp Creole Seasoning w- Lo fat Cottage Cheese. Eggs were OK but added shredded Provolone on top to add more cheese flavor. Wife, who does not like Cottage Cheese, liked it!
I did it the way it was written but didn't think it was any better with the cottage cheese
This recipe was very delicious. My husband particularly enjoyed it. The only change I made was to add a quarter cup of sour cream and about a cup of salsa. It was creamy and so flavorful! Thanks for such a yummy, versatile recipe. I will be making this many more times, for sure.
Do not like or normally eat cottage cheese. Decided to try this recipe and it was yummy. Did not actually taste cottage cheese, eggs just seemed creamy like the title says.
I scaled it down to a single egg serving and it was quick and delicious. My sensitive super taster mouth didn't detect any sour taste and the eggs came out creamy. Loved it and can't wait to make it for family.
I used the recipe S stated. Wonderful smooth texture. The new way to make scrambled eggs. The added protein is a real plus.
Quick and easy. I scrambled 2 eggs and used 2 TBS of cottage cheese (seasoned with Julio's brand of seasoning salt) for a single serving. Absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing.
I was a bit skeptical at first but there were so many good reviews, I decided to give these a whirl. I didn't have any chives and I accidentally put the cottage cheese in with the eggs prior to cooking. It didn't matter...these were THE best scrambled eggs I've ever had. Light and fluffy with a great taste. I plan to make scrambled eggs this way from now on.
I added cubed Peameal bacon. Also have added cubed ham to the eggs. It's a winner. Have made it several times, great for a large crowd.
I have made this type of salad and used vanilla Silk yogurt (non-dairy) for my grandson who has allergies to dairy, eggs, and peanuts. Tastes just like a sweetened mayonnaise used for salad like Waldorf. Yogurt works , dairy or non-dairy!
I have never liked cottage cheese but these are the best scrambled eggs I've ever tasted. I don't think I will ever cook them again without. I made mine the first time with some cherrywood smoked ham. Second time I added mushrooms too but forgot the chives. You must try this. Tastes nothing like cottage cheese. Makes the eggs creamy and rich.
I love this recipe. It is quick, and simple to make. I didn't have chives, so I used Mrs. Dash as a substitute.
The texture and flavor are amazing. Don’t limit this to a breakfast food, it goes great in spinach wraps with salsa for a protein-packed, low carb lunch. You can easily pair it with a slice or two of deli ham or turkey if you need something heavier but it’s generally filling enough without adding meat.
Wow! This is amazing! I am trying to increase my proteins and will definitely use this recipe regularly. I made this for one serving and used 1 large egg and 2 egg whites; used 1/4 cup low fat Publix cottage cheese and ate 1/4 cup while cooking lol! I added salt, pepper and whipped. The cottage cheese melted into the eggs for a creamy light egg meal! No need to purée the cottage cheese before hand. Sharing this recipe with the rest of my weight lifting friends.
I didn't have chives, so substituted some finely sliced fresh green onions. I really liked the result and will repeat it - for myself. There were some dissenters. (Some folks just like their eggs with nothing but S&P.)
I'll never make scrambled eggs w/o cottage cheese again! Who knew?
the taste was awesome. but the texture is terrible. it was so soggy.
It isn't very pretty because the cottage cheese changes the color or the eggs. But it is a tasty change!
Basically, we are stretching eggs with cottage cheese instead of milk. The result is a lighter, blander egg that pairs well with fresh fruit.
I make mine a lot of times with a little milk and I add cream cheese. It's excellent with the cream cheese! Try it my way and let me know what you think of it.
Quick, simple, delicious, new twist on an old favorite. New base for a whole raft of new dishes. Why wouldn't it deserve a five?
I used flavored cottage cheese (chives) and added green onion to it. There was nothing bad or wrong with it although it wasn't mind-blowing amazing. If I have spare cottage cheese then I would make it again but I wouldn't go out of my way to get the ingredients to make it.
My only concern about this recipe was that no salt was in the list of ingredients. I'm happy to say, I didn't need any. The cottage cheese makes these eggs the fluffiest ones I've ever made. Who knew cottage cheese would make such a nice addition as well as adding a little extra protein?
OMG! New fave recipe! I used 10 eggs, 1 1/2 c. large curd cottage cheese, and added a 2.5 oz pkg of real bacon bits...everyone raved!
Put every into pan and scrambled them. Delicious. Use a " good" 4% cottage cheese!
This is a good start. I added salsa after cooking and some avocado slices. Made a great mid day meal! Thanks.
Green onions improve scrambled eggs immensely. Cottage Cheese, maybe...
I did add a few spices. Although no sugar it had a slight sweet taste.
Very good. I used small curd, low fat, lower salt cottage cheese to make it healthier.
This was outstanding! I love eggs, I love chives, and I love cottage cheese but it never occurred to me to combine them. Was looking for a recipe to use up some cottage cheese and found this, and the dish was lovely. Perfect with sourdough toast.
Been putting cottage cheese in scrambled for years. Chopped parsley is a nice touch also.
I’ve made it twice already! I haven’t had chines so I just sprinkle it with a dash of onion powder. It nice... something a little different.
I made this recipie this morning. the only change I did was for each egg I added a tablespoon of water. the cottage cheese made the eggs smooth and creamy. plus the calories are way less than regular cheese. I will definitely make this again.
Yes I will make it again & no I did not make any changes
Didn't have chives so I used fresh rosemary, added a tiny bit of garlic and they turned out amazing... definitely gonna be making this again
I added some marjoram and when done served with cut wedges of cherry tomato and sliced plum. It really was creamy and good without weeping.
I haven’t tried this exact recipe - yet - so gave it four instead of five stars. However, almost 50 years ago I saw a recipe similar to this on a milk carton and have been using it ever since. In those days there was no such thing as an immersion blender, so the recipe called to blend four eggs and a couple tablespoons (I use a bit more) of cottage cheese in a blender (a hot new kitchen gadget in the early 70s!} till smooth. Now I use an immersion blender (not the whisk attachment) in a deep bowl or the tall measure cup that comes with it. Cottage cheese adds protein to the eggs and makes them creamy without thinning them or adding the calories of cream. Cooking at low temp till almost done is also a secret to soft, creamy eggs. The pan’s heat finishes the cooking off the flame while you prepare the plates. Bon appetit!
Until a year ago, the only time I ate cottage cheese was when it was in lasagna. Just didn’t like it! But discovered what I have been missing and LOVED this way to incorporate into my scrambled eggs! Loved it! Made exactly as written (even the butter - which I thought was odd) and was amazing! Added some dashes of hot sauce on top. Will make again! Thank you!
Followed instructions exactly, and they were perfect. Loved the flavor - the mild cottage cheese helped make them creamy and didn't taste sharp. Though, I do like the tang of cheddar, too...
