Instructions
1
Prep
Crack the 3 eggs and extra egg white into a bowl. Add cottage cheese and mashed cannellini beans, season with salt and pepper, and whisk until combined.
2
Melt butter in a nonstick pan over low heat until foaming, about 30 seconds. Pour in egg mixture and stir continuously with a spatula for 5 to 7 minutes, pulling curds from edges to centre, until soft and custardy.
3
Remove pan from heat while eggs still look slightly underdone. Fold in smoked salmon strips and half the chives until just warmed through, about 30 seconds.
4
Plate
Spoon eggs onto a warm plate, dollop with crème fraîche, squeeze lemon juice over top, and scatter remaining chives.
