Protein Power Eggs for Two

2015-06-07 13.28.41

Celebrate June Dairy Month with this fabulous breakfast. The addition of the cottage cheese makes these eggs extra creamy while adding protein and calcium. I guarantee once you try cottage cheese in your eggs you will never go back to regular eggs. Every taste test I have done in my house, the cottage cheese eggs always win.

  • 4 eggs
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • 2 ounces ham, chopped
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper

Whisk eggs and add cottage cheese. Whisk until eggs and cheese are blended. Stir in chopped ham. Pour into a small frying pan that has been coated with non-stick spray. Stir until eggs are done and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Stir in the cheese. And sprinkle with salt and pepper.

You can always toss in your favorite veggies and seasonings. I also enjoy Penzeys Fox Point Seasoning on my egg dishes. Makes two servings.
