Cooking curd scrambled eggs
1. Wash the tomato, dry it and cut it into pieces of any size, but not too small. Otherwise, the tomato will ferment and spoil the taste of the fried eggs.
2. Wash the dill, dry it and chop it.
3. Put cottage cheese in a container, which it is desirable to wipe through a sieve. This will give a uniform consistency. Add chopped tomatoes and dill. Beat in an egg and season with salt.
4. Mix all foods well.
5. Pour refined vegetable oil into the pan and heat well, otherwise the food will stick to the bottom and burn. Put the curd and egg mass in a frying pan and fry it under the lid for about 5 minutes over low heat. I love scrambled eggs, so I mix them. If you like it in the form of an omelet, then fry it as it is. Serve the finished scrambled eggs immediately. You can pour sour cream over it to taste.
