Instructions

Prepare the Egg Mixture

Crack the eggs into a bowl and crumble the cottage cheese into the bowl. Add salt and optional black pepper.
Whisk the mixture vigorously for 1 minute until the egg yolks and cheese are well combined.

Cook the Egg Balls

Heat a lightly oiled non-stick pan or appe pan over medium heat.
Pour small amounts of the egg mixture into the hot pan, forming small patties (about 2-3 tablespoons per patty).
Cook for approximately 1 minute per side, or until lightly golden brown and cooked through. The cooking time might vary slightly depending on the heat and thickness of the egg balls.
Remove from the pan and serve immediately.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Egg Balls

For extra flavor, add finely chopped herbs like chives or dill to the egg mixture.
If the mixture seems too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or water to thin it out.
Don't overcrowd the pan; cook the egg balls in batches to ensure even cooking.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture. These are best enjoyed fresh!
