Pro tip: buy cottage cheese, blend the entire container until smooth, return to container and add to everything from eggs to sauces for protein boost.

@craigzilla100 5 ай бұрын

Another cottage cheese tip- blend it by itself really well and then add a packet of ranch seasoning. Boom, you have an amazing high protein and low fit dip for veggies and chips.

I hate cottage cheese but ever since finding out about this a while ago (from someone else) I've loved it and eat it almost every day. I do one egg, half a cup of egg whites, and half a cup of cottage cheese to keep it lower calorie but still high protein. I also like zucchini and onion in it. It does need to be cooked longer to get the liquid from the cottage cheese out if you don't want watery eggs! But it does cook out and the eggs don't burn.

I just found this channel and subscribe to it. Besides the fantastic recipe, the reason I did was that I am blind and I can’t tell you how many KZfaq food videos have music, video, and even background sounds while the person is cooking and absolutely no narration whatsoever. That makes the recipes on those videos completely useless to blind people. I can’t tell you how many food video makers I have respectfully asked in the comments to make their videos inclusive by adding narration and they refused to do so. Thank you so much for making these recipes accessible to us as well as everyone else.

4:20 Made a boatload of cottage cheese from our raw milk share....have used in an egg/cottage cheese/cheddar cheese bake and was delicious. Have put scrambled eggs on top of cottage cheese, since the cottage cheese still has the good cultures in it. Will try your way, since im getting ready to make some more cottage cheese.... A gallon of raw milk only costs us $7 - we can drink it, make butter and cottage cheese with it......so much more nutritious than store bought.....

I make eggs with cottage cheese all my life, improvised myself when I was teenager :) it’s perfect! I mix cottage cheese with a bit of garlic and salt, separately beat eggs adding spices and then mix all together… frying some chopped tomatoes, then adding mix of eggs and cheese, mixing well and letting fry till it’s done just meanwhile moving a bit the eggs so that the liquid from top would go down.. and you can improvise with spinach or bell pepper any vegs you want prior to adding mix of eggs and cheese. No ketchup or other sauce, it’s full of flavours itself .. perfect with slice of rye bread
