Scramble softly
Just setUsing a rubber spatula, slowly scrape sections of eggs to the center of the pan as the bottom starts to set, creating soft folds for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes total until just set.
Serve
Remove from the heat and serve straight away, with whole grain toast and fresh berries if you like.
Cook's noteCook over medium-low and fold gently with a rubber spatula so the eggs stay fluffy — you won't taste the cottage cheese.
