- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, cottage cheese, kosher salt, and black pepper to taste with a fork.
Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and spray with olive oil. When warm, pour the eggs in.
Using 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.
Remove from the heat and serve immediately.
