These creamy cottage cheese scrambled eggs with everything bagel seasoning are a quick and easy breakfast that feels fancy but takes just 10 minutes. The cottage cheese melts into the eggs for a luscious texture, while the everything bagel seasoning adds a salty, savory crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh chives or green onions for garnish
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon milk or cream

Instructions

  1. Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Add the cottage cheese. Using a whisk or fork, beat the mixture until the eggs and cottage cheese are well combined. You’ll still see small curds of cottage cheese—that’s perfect. Whisk for about 30 seconds until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy.
  2. Place your non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt slowly. Swirl the pan to coat the bottom evenly. The butter should sizzle gently but not brown.
  3. Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the pan. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds. You’ll see the edges start to set.
  4. Using your silicone spatula, gently push the cooked edges toward the center. Tilt the pan to let the uncooked liquid flow to the edges. Repeat this process every 20 to 30 seconds. Don’t stir constantly.
  5. Continue cooking for 3 to 4 minutes total. The eggs should still look slightly wet and glossy when you remove them from the heat.
  6. Remove the pan from the heat immediately. Sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning evenly over the top. Use about 1 teaspoon for a mild flavor or up to 2 teaspoons if you love that savory punch. Give the eggs one gentle fold to incorporate the seasoning slightly.
  7. Transfer the eggs to a plate or bowl. Garnish with fresh chives or green onions if you’re using them. Add a pinch of flaky sea salt and a crack of black pepper if desired. Serve immediately while still warm and creamy.

Notes

Use low heat for creamy eggs. Don’t overmix the eggs before cooking. Season at the end to avoid drawing out moisture. Let the eggs rest for 30 seconds after removing from heat. Use a timer for perfect texture.
