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.
