    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.

    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 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 CZcams 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.

I would usually have to cook the eggss on really low heat to get that result, but with the cottage cheese, I was able to cook over about a medium heat, and they cooked up nice and quick while still getting the texture I like.

I do have one cheat meal on either Friday and Saturday or Saturday and Sunday, and that's it. And my cheat meal is always early, like breakfast or lunch.
