Instructions
Whisk the Egg Mixture
Crack all four eggs into a medium bowl and add the cottage cheese, salt, and black pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy, about 30 seconds.
Heat the Pan
Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt completely and begin to foam but do not let it brown, which takes about 1 to 2 minutes.
Cook the Eggs
Pour the egg mixture into the pan and let it sit undisturbed for 20 seconds until the edges begin to set. Using a silicone spatula, gently fold the eggs from the edges toward the center in slow sweeping motions. Continue folding every 10 to 15 seconds and remove the pan from heat when the eggs are just barely set and still look slightly glossy, about 5 to 6 minutes total.
Serve Immediately
Transfer the scrambled eggs to plates right away and top with fresh chopped chives. Serve immediately because the residual heat will continue cooking the eggs if left in the pan.
