High-Protein Scrambled Eggs Recipe With Cottage Cheese Has 23 Grams of Protein Per Serving (2 Ingredients, 10 Minutes) High Protein Recipes Breakfast Vegetarian Gluten-free Low Carb Recipes Low Sugar Recipes Brunch Menopause Recipes

You need another scrambled egg recipe in your life! More and more I've been reading about the amount of protein recommended for post-menopausal women, but really almost everyone benefits from a high protein breakfast. I have added cheese to my eggs before, but I had never thought about the adding the protein-packed deliciousness of cottage cheese.

This 10-minute egg recipe combines just two ingredients to give you a powerhouse jumpstart your day. This breakfast recipe doesn't spike your glycemic index, and may keep your blood sugar steady and your energy up until lunchtime. These eggs also make a delicious, quick and easy high-protein snack.

No fancy ingredients for this high-protein recipe. Here are the two ingredients you will need for this gluten-free and low-carb breakfast: fresh eggs (read about the health benefits of eggs) and cottage cheese. You can serve the high-protein eggs any way you like. We like the fluffy scrambled eggs with sourdough toast, avocado (avocado if full of health benefits) and fresh cherry tomatoes (check out the health benefits of tomatoes).

You don't have to be anywhere near menopause to enjoy this easy egg recipe! But if you are, here are even more recipes for menopause.

Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 3 minutes
Cook Time: 5 to 7 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 1 

Ingredients

• 2 eggs (we prefer organic eggs)
• 1/2 cup whole milk cottage cheese (we prefer organic cottage cheese)
• salt and black pepper, to taste (optional)

Optional for Serving

• sourdough bread
• avocado, sliced
• cherry tomatoes, sliced

Here's how to make it: 

1. Place a skillet over medium heat with a bit of olive oil or butter in the bottom, if needed or desired.
2. Whisk the eggs and cottage cheese together in a bowl using a small whisk or fork. (If you prefer you can blend the cottage cheese first in a blender to make it smoother.)
3. Pour eggs/cheese mixture into the hot pan. Stir the eggs occasionally and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until cooked through. Eggs will be a bit softer than normal due to the higher moisture count in the cheese. Serve.
