Healthy Scrambled Eggs with Cottage Cheese | Cheap & Easy

[@jacobvincent6929]

this is the first time i've ever considered trying cottage cheese in something. i'll give this a shot. Glad to see you're back on the air.

[@TheProteinChef]

Let's go! If you like it, give the Cottage Cheese Cheesecake a try! Thank you by the way.

[@markn3936]

Put it in overnight oats instead of Greek yougart. 10g of protein.

[@jacobvincent6929]

@@markn3936 May have to try that. Greek Yogurt has been my go-to for bumping up the protein in oatmeal.

[@markn3936]

@@jacobvincent6929 mine too. I go to the cottage cheese when I run out of yougart. I also use a whey protein isolate for 20-25 more grams of protein for muscle building.

Cottage cheese is actually good. Try it on ricecrackers with strawberries.

[@nicolumens3311]

Pro tip: buy cottage cheese, blend the entire container until smooth, return to container and add to everything from eggs to sauces for protein boost.

[@morganhough1022]

I do this and love it!!!

[@Chelsharmony]

How long will it last? Like how many days before it’s no good anymore

[@thriftedgem222]

@@Chelsharmonyi'd say a safe guess is about about 4-5 days? since regular opened cottage cheese can keep up to a week in the fridge

Ok! I am one who struggles getting enough protein. I hate cottage cheese but I love eggs! I tried this recipe, choosing the blended choice, and was blown away! These are by far the best scrambled eggs I have ever had. Thank you Chef! I am so glad I found you. I am going to look thru every recipe you have!!

Another cottage cheese tip- blend it by itself really well and then add a packet of ranch seasoning. Boom, you have an amazing high protein and low fit dip for veggies and chips.

[@tinainnca]

I have to try that one👌

Works really well with Greek yogurt too

“I’m freaking out man” Super Troopers… I love it 😂😂

[@MB-vi8zp]

I hate cottage cheese but ever since finding out about this a while ago (from someone else) I've loved it and eat it almost every day. I do one egg, half a cup of egg whites, and half a cup of cottage cheese to keep it lower calorie but still high protein. I also like zucchini and onion in it. It does need to be cooked longer to get the liquid from the cottage cheese out if you don't want watery eggs! But it does cook out and the eggs don't burn.

[@michaels2208]

Thank you for sharing. I have always hated cottage cheese, everyone and me loves it. But I wish I could eat it too help my recovery from surgery. I'll try it

Skyr also works great in scrambled eggs- gives it that creamy consitency you normally get from creme fraiche. Only thing important is that you mix it in the pan when the scrambled egg is almost finished

[@nickystripe3303]

I just found this channel and subscribe to it. Besides the fantastic recipe, the reason I did was that I am blind and I can’t tell you how many KZbin food videos have music, video, and even background sounds while the person is cooking and absolutely no narration whatsoever. That makes the recipes on those videos completely useless to blind people. I can’t tell you how many food video makers I have respectfully asked in the comments to make their videos inclusive by adding narration and they refused to do so. Thank you so much for making these recipes accessible to us as well as everyone else.

[@TheProteinChef]

Thank you Barbara - I'll do my best to always keep the format as close to this as possible. Much love to you!

I agree 100%. My brother is legally deaf AND blind, had to have cochlear implant surgery and now hears better but says people sound like mickey mouse. Also had eye surgery and that's a little better but hates when closed caption doesn't work, messes up the words. He so appreciates when channels add closed captioning but also speak clearly with NO MUSIC in the background. ❤

I love scrambled eggs, and I love cottage cheese. I usually add a bit of milk or half-and-half to my scrambled egg mixture to make them creamier anyway, so I'm sure using cottage cheese will be delicious.

[@norxgirl1]

4:20 Made a boatload of cottage cheese from our raw milk share....have used in an egg/cottage cheese/cheddar cheese bake and was delicious. Have put scrambled eggs on top of cottage cheese, since the cottage cheese still has the good cultures in it. Will try your way, since im getting ready to make some more cottage cheese.... A gallon of raw milk only costs us $7 - we can drink it, make butter and cottage cheese with it......so much more nutritious than store bought.....

[@beingL]

Starving on my way home and this popped up. I made it with one egg, 1C egg whites, 1/2 C low fat cottage cheese. Served with 4 slices of low fat beef bacon, asparagus, and 2 slices of low cal toast. Delicious with 47P, 14F, 24C. Thanks!

Hated cottage cheese since I was kid, 30 years later still never tried it again. But due to a medical issues I need to eat high protein due to low albumin. So gave this recipe ago, split it in half and tried both, blended and straight up. The blended on its own was much better, however the straight up one was random to me, but with spices & grated cheese it was lovely. The blended one has now become my breakfast for the last 10 days and still not sick of it. So thanks for the recipe idea. Love this channel, you will never know how much your recipes have helped me.

I make eggs with cottage cheese all my life, improvised myself when I was teenager :) it’s perfect! I mix cottage cheese with a bit of garlic and salt, separately beat eggs adding spices and then mix all together… frying some chopped tomatoes, then adding mix of eggs and cheese, mixing well and letting fry till it’s done just meanwhile moving a bit the eggs so that the liquid from top would go down.. and you can improvise with spinach or bell pepper any vegs you want prior to adding mix of eggs and cheese. No ketchup or other sauce, it’s full of flavours itself .. perfect with slice of rye bread

looks amazing. Can you substitute egg whites for the eggs?

[@bidnow2946]

Yes, but it depends on the goals of your diet. If you are going low carb or keto, you won't want to do that since you "need" the fat. If you are on a higher carb diet, then egg whites and cottage cheese will likely not be as tasty as you think. If you are aggressively dieting and trying a Protein Sparing Modified Fast (PSMF) where you eat very little except your daily protein requirement, then you will likely be so hungry, you won't care that it is not that appetizing.

[@Tanksinatravideos]

I like the hot eggs with the cold cottage cheese, added pepper to the cottage cheese. I’ve been doing it forever, glad you’re spreading the word

[@catpatrick3838]

Blend the eggs and cottage cheese until smooth, pour into silicone muffin pans, add grated gruyere cheese (or cheese of your choice), bacon or ham, bake @ 350F for 15 minutes and you've got egg bites that make S bucks downright unpalatable. Yeah, baked and not sous vide (takes too long), but still creamy and delish. 6 eggs + 1 cup cottage cheese = 18 egg bites. They freeze really well too.
