Savory Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowl
Cottage cheese, jammy eggs, tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, and herbs make a fast high-protein breakfast with real texture.
This bowl is for mornings when you want protein and freshness without cooking a full breakfast.
Cottage cheese supplies the base, while vegetables, herbs, and olive oil make it feel intentional instead of like a snack plate.
A jammy egg adds richness and makes the bowl more satisfying.
If you already have boiled eggs in the refrigerator, this becomes almost entirely no-cook.
The seasoning matters.
Salt, pepper, chives, and a small amount of everything bagel seasoning bring the vegetables and cottage cheese together so each bite has crunch, creaminess, and brightness.
For something else to cook in the same spirit, try Spinach Feta Egg Bake or Overnight Oats with Berry Chia Jam.
Directions
- Bring a small saucepan of water to a gentle boil. Add the eggs and cook for 7 minutes.
- Transfer eggs to ice water for 2 minutes, then peel and halve.
- Divide cottage cheese between two shallow bowls.
- Arrange tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, and egg over the cottage cheese.
- Drizzle with olive oil and season with everything bagel seasoning, chives, and pepper.
- Serve with toast for scooping.
