Make Cottage Cheese Eggs for an Easy Protein Boost!
Cottage cheese eggs are the creamy, high-protein breakfast you didn’t know you needed!
Tired of the same old scrambled eggs?!
Consider adding cottage cheese to your eggs in the morning. Not only does this add protein, but the taste and texture of the eggs turn out extra fluffy, creamy, and delicious.
If texture is an issue with the cottage cheese, blend it up in a blender or use a hand blender first, then proceed with this idea! This Good Culture brand seems to have a very small curd, and it tastes great, if you need a reonlinemendation!
Protein Power! Here’s why cottage cheese eggs are a nutritional win.
Eggs are already a great source of high-quality protein, but adding cottage cheese takes it to the next level.
One serving (2 eggs + 1/4 cup cottage cheese) has:
- 19 grams of protein
- All 9 essential amino acids
- Vitamin D, B12, and selenium
- Calcium for bone health
The protein + fat onlinebo helps curb cravings and keeps you full. Plus, I love that this can be made in under ten minutes for a quick and easy breakfast idea!
