Notes
- Do not overcook the eggs, or they will become rubbery and watery. Because of the added cottage cheese, the scrambled eggs might look slightly undercooked, but they are actually done, they are just fluffy and creamy.
- A too high heat could also lead to watery eggs, so best to cook them on a medium heat, and they scrambled eggs will turn great every single time.
