Today I've got another TikTok viral recipe for you! It's really easy to make, low-carb, keto and packed full of protein to keep you full for longer.
I'm not sure who shared this recipe on TikTok first but thank you! It is definitely a breakfast keeper. Apart from adding more protein per serving, the addition of cottage cheese to eggs makes them fluffier, moist so no more overcooked scrambles!
I modified the original recipe to make it fluffier and higher in protein by adding more cottage cheese. I also added a pinch of turmeric for an anti-inflammatory boost. If you use it, make sure to also add a pinch of black pepper as it significantly improves absorption of turmeric! You can then serve these fluffy scrambled eggs as they are or add more extras from the recipe tips below.
