Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 100g cottage cheese, divided
- 20g vegetarian hard cheese, finely grated
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 2 tsp fresh chives, finely chopped
Method
Put eggs, hard cheese, salt, pepper and a third of the cottage cheese in a bowl. Whisk hard using a hand mixer for about 1 minute, so no curds remain.
Warm oil in a 23cm nonstick frying pan. Turn it down to medium-low, pour in the mixture and tilt so it covers the base.
Leave undisturbed 7-8 minutes, until barely wobbly on top.
Spoon leftover cottage cheese along one side and scatter over the chives. Fold over; give it 1 minute more so it warms through.
Eat at once.
