Jenn's tips
- Serve the eggs with your favorite breakfast sides like chicken sausage, turkey bacon, and fruit. These are also great on avocado toast.
- The eggs will be a little softer set due to the cottage cheese liquid.
- We left the cottage cheese chunky, if preferred, you can blend it in a blender for a smoother texture.
