Cottage Cheese Scrambled Eggs


I've been getting into just trying new things. See something (usually on pinterest) and then i want to make it. As long as i feel i'm capable to make it though lol. This is the recipe i followed http://dietrecipesblog.com/2008/07/22/cottage-cheese-scrambled-eggs-recipe-137-calories/

This was one of those things that i came across. It didn't really sound bad to me, but it did sound unusual. Never would of thought "Hey lets put cottage cheese in with my eggs", though that could go for a lot of things for me...If i hadn't already learned when a kid that you could put peanut butter on bread to make a sandwich, it probably would sound really odd to me lol. What also made me want to try this was it let me use my ninja processor that i am just wanting to find all these things to make with. Only thing...i think i probably processed this a tiny bit too much.

Taste wise, it was okay for me. I'm someone that likes melted cheese in my eggs (usually cheddar), so i really felt like that was missing when i was eating this. There was a sorta clear taste of cottage cheese in it. Like the left over taste in your mouth was of cottage cheese. I was like, "I ate eggs, why is my mouth tasting like cottage cheese". There did seem to be a bit of wateriness to it. After it was on the plate it was starting to get liquid just sitting under it, not extremely appetizing to see. Back to the processing part, I feel i might of over done it because the texture wasn't the usual scrambled egg texture. Though was a little lighter.

I might try this again later on but just not process it as much....And cheese..i need cheese in it lol. But as my brother said "But there is cheese in it."

My biggest thing about this experience.....MY DAUGHTER ATE SOME!!! Been having trouble getting her to eat. So whether it was because of the recipe or just because she was hungry, she ate some. Not really going to get into her eating habits though, not what the post is about lol.

Little part i find humorous. Reading the comments on the recipe post, people who are in weight watchers are getting all huffy over the point value, not realizing the recipe makes 2 servings.


Additional info:

My mom is in weight watchers right now, so i used her recipe builder on what i used to get the points per serving and same as the recipe said, it's 3 points per serving. I used the 3 eggs it said and i used 2% cottage cheese. When i found this on pinterest, someone had put that they do 2 egg whites and 1 whole egg. Putting that into the recipe builder on weight watchers, also putting fat free cottage cheese, then it would 2 points per serving.


Here's my pictures of cooking this
