Whether mixed into pasta sauce as a cream substitute or added to your homemade ice cream recipe for extra protein, cottage cheese is being used as a secret ingredient by professional chefs and home cooks alike. Most people either love it or hate it (there have been quite a few heated debates amongst the Hunker team), but that hasn't stopped it from taking over TikTok the past few weeks.

It's rather simple, actually. For every four eggs you whisk up, add 1/4 cup of cottage cheese. Cook in a bit of olive oil over medium heat until soft curds form. The chef then puts it on a piece of toast with a sprinkle of chives, but straight up would be mighty fine too. Ready to put your cottage cheese reservations aside and give it a go? We sure are!
