In a small bowl, whisk the whole eggs, egg whites, salt, and black pepper until well combined and no streaks of white remain.
Melt the butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit for a few seconds until the edges start to set. Use a heat-resistant spatula to gently push the cooked eggs toward the center, creating soft curds.
When the eggs are mostly set but still look wet, fold in the cottage cheese. Continue to cook for about 1 minute until the cheese is warmed through and the eggs are just set. Remove from heat immediately to keep them creamy. Done when set and creamy, 160°F.
Plate the scrambled eggs alongside the toasted whole-wheat bread. Garnish the eggs with the chopped chives.
