Microwave Mug Cottage Cheese Scrambled Eggs (WW Friendly)

If you love quick, protein-packed breakfasts as much as I do, you are going to love these simple microwave cottage cheese scrambled eggs. I make this often when I want something warm, satisfying, and ready in less than two minutes. With just one egg (or two) and a spoonful (or two) of cottage cheese, you get a creamy, fluffy scramble that feels a little indulgent while still being incredibly light and WeightWatchers friendly.

It is the perfect solution for busy mornings, solo breakfasts, or those times when you want something nourishing without pulling out a skillet. This easy mug scramble also works well as a high-protein snack later in the day.

Why I Love This Recipe

Quick and convenient. Ready in under two minutes from start to finish.
Just two simple ingredients. Perfect when my fridge is almost empty.
High protein and WW friendly. Cottage cheese adds creaminess and protein for very few calories or Points.
No pan required. Everything cooks right in a mug for fast cleanup.
Easy to customize. I can add herbs, veggies, or spices to make it all kinds of ways.

Ingredients and Substitutions

Egg – One large egg works perfectly. Use two if you want a larger serving.

Cottage cheese – I use one tablespoon per egg. Any fat level works, but low-fat or fat-free keeps Points lower while adding protein and creaminess.

Salt and pepper – A small pinch is enough.

Optional add-ins – Chopped spinach, diced bell pepper, sliced scallions, shredded cheese, paprika, dried herbs, or a splash of hot sauce are all delicious.

How to Make Microwave Cottage Cheese Scrambled Eggs Step by Step

Step 1: Prep your mug

Lightly spray a microwave-safe mug with nonstick cooking spray.

Crack the egg into the mug. Add the cottage cheese and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk with a fork until everything is well combined.

Step 4: Microwave

Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir. Microwave for another 20 to 30 seconds, or until the eggs are set to your liking. Microwave times vary, so check often to avoid overcooking.

Step 5: Serve

Enjoy warm straight from the mug. Add fresh herbs, cheese, or hot sauce if you like.

Serving Suggestions

Spoon into a warm tortilla for a quick breakfast taco.

Serve with fruit and/or whole grain toast for a balanced meal.
