Lor peynirli yumurta is a Turkish-style scramble made by cooking eggs with lor, a mild, crumbly whey cheese. The curds stay distinct in the soft, moist eggs, giving the dish a gentle, milky flavour rather than a strongly salty or sharp one. In Turkey it is commonly served hot for breakfast, often with bread, tomatoes and olives; it also makes an easy light lunch. It is protein-rich, with calcium and vitamin B12 as well. For a simple, balanced plate, pair it with fresh vegetables, or use a little oil and add herbs such as parsley or chives for extra flavour.

High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Cook beaten eggs gently in a lightly heated pan, then fold in cottage cheese as the eggs begin to set. Take the pan off the heat while the eggs are still slightly moist; residual heat finishes cooking them.
Add the cottage cheese once the eggs have started to form soft curds. This warms the cheese without making it disappear into the eggs, and folding it in gently keeps the curds distinct.
Scrambled eggs with cottage cheese can turn watery if the cheese contains a lot of liquid or the eggs are overcooked. Drain excess liquid from the cottage cheese and cook the eggs gently rather than over high heat.
No, cottage cheese usually does not melt completely in scrambled eggs with cottage cheese. The curds soften and warm through but remain visible; mash them into the eggs during cooking if you prefer a more even texture.
Black pepper, chives, and a little paprika work well in scrambled eggs with cottage cheese. Add fresh herbs near the end of cooking, and taste before adding salt because cottage cheese can already be salty.
Keep scrambled eggs with cottage cheese creamy by cooking them over low to medium-low heat and stirring gently. Remove the pan while the eggs still look a little glossy, since they continue to cook from residual heat.
Yes, scrambled eggs with cottage cheese can be cooked in a microwave in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short bursts, stirring between them, and stop as soon as the eggs are just set to avoid a rubbery texture.
Store scrambled eggs with cottage cheese in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat them within three days. Refrigerate leftovers promptly rather than leaving them at room temperature, and only reheat the portion you plan to eat.
Yes, reheat scrambled eggs with cottage cheese gently in the microwave or in a pan over low heat. Stir once or twice and stop when they are hot; prolonged heating can make the eggs tough and the mixture release liquid.
Yes, scrambled eggs with cottage cheese can make a filling breakfast because the eggs and cheese provide protein. Pair them with vegetables or whole-grain toast for a more varied meal, rather than relying on the eggs alone.
