Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup rolled oats not instant
  • 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • Salt pepper, and garlic powder to taste
  • A splash of water 2–3 tbsp
  • Cooking spray or 1/2 tsp olive oil

Method
 

  1. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or oil.
  2. Add the rolled oats and toast for 1–2 minutes, stirring often, until they smell slightly nutty.
  3. Add the splash of water to soften the oats and stir them around for about 30 seconds.
  4. Crack the 2 eggs directly into the pan. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  5. Add the cottage cheese and scramble everything together gently over medium-low heat.
  6. Cook for 3–4 minutes, folding occasionally, until the eggs are fully cooked and the cottage cheese is warm and creamy throughout.
  7. Plate immediately and serve hot.

Notes

Buy rolled oats in bulk — a large bag costs around $3–4 and gives you weeks of breakfasts. Cottage cheese is almost always cheaper per gram of protein than Greek yogurt. Grab the store brand and you'll shave another $1 off easily.
