Method

1

Dice onion and summer squash into small, even pieces. Chop leafy greens and fresh herbs. Measure out cottage cheese.

2

Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add diced onion and squash; sauté until softened, about 3–4 minutes.

Add chopped greens and stir until wilted, about 1–2 minutes.

Whisk eggs with salt and pepper in a bowl, then pour into the skillet. Stir gently until eggs begin to set, about 2–3 minutes.
