Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whisk eggs and cottage cheese together in a bowl until well blended and slightly thick.

  2. Step 2

    Melt butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until it foams, about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3

    Add ham and tomatoes, cook until tomatoes soften and ham warms, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in egg mixture, let it sit untouched for 20 seconds, then gently push it toward the center with a spatula.

  5. Step 5

    Continue stirring slowly every 15–20 seconds until curds form and eggs look creamy but set, 3–4 minutes total.

  6. Step 6

    Season with salt and pepper, divide between two plates, and serve immediately.
