Ingredients
•
2 slices bacon, chopped
•
2 medium fresh mushrooms, chopped
•
1 tablespoon minced green onions (including green tops)
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
•
2 eggs, lightly beaten
•
1/2 cup cottage cheese
Directions
1
Cook and stir bacon in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined bowl, reserving bacon grease in a small bowl.
2
Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon reserved bacon grease. Cook mushrooms and green onions in hot bacon grease until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a small bowl and keep warm.
3
Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon reserved bacon grease. Add beaten eggs and scramble until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and keep warm.
4
Place cottage cheese into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on 50% power until warm, 60 to 90 seconds, stirring halfway through. Drain any liquid that has been released and transfer cottage cheese into one side of a single-serving bowl. Place scrambled eggs into the other side of the bowl. Top with mushroom mixture and bacon.
