Step 1
Start by cooking the bacon in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat until it’s nicely browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Once done, transfer it to a paper towel-lined bowl to drain, but keep the bacon grease in a small bowl for later.

Step 2
Next, heat the skillet over medium-high heat and add a teaspoon of that reserved bacon grease. Toss in the mushrooms and green onions, cooking until they’re just starting to brown, around 3 to 4 minutes. Season with a little salt and pepper, then scoop them into a small bowl and keep warm.

Step 3
Add another teaspoon of the bacon grease to the skillet and scramble the eggs over medium-high heat until they’re cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from the heat and set aside.

Step 4
Put the cottage cheese in a microwave-safe bowl and warm it up on half power for 1 to 1½ minutes, stirring halfway through. Drain any excess liquid before transferring the cottage cheese to one side of your serving bowl. Spoon the scrambled eggs on the other side, then top everything with the mushroom mixture and crispy bacon. Serve right away and enjoy!

How to serve

Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 1-2 days for best freshness. Avoid freezing as it may alter the texture of the cottage cheese. Stir gently before serving if any liquid separates.
