Method

Separate the eggs. Whip the whites to soft peaks — about ninety seconds by hand.
Beat the yolks with the cottage cheese, yogurt, pepper and the salt, then fold the whites through in three additions. Stop while it still looks streaky.
Cook in a non-stick pan brushed with the oil over the lowest heat, covered, 5–6 minutes, until the top is just set. Scatter the mozzarella and herbs, fold once and serve.

Chef’s tipThree additions. Folding all the white in at once knocks the air out. A third at a time keeps it.

Make it twoUse two pans. Two portions in one pan take twice as long and the bottom sets before the middle.
