Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup low-fat or whole milk cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup English cucumber, diced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sliced green onions
- 1 teaspoon “Everything Bagel” seasoning
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- Fresh cracked black pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 soft-boiled egg or a handful of microgreens
Instructions
- Start by washing all your fresh produce. Dice the cucumber into small, bite-sized pieces and slice the cherry tomatoes in half. If you are using avocado, remove the pit and slice it thinly. Chop the green onions into fine rounds. Having everything chopped and ready makes the assembly process fast and enjoyable.
- Scoop one cup of cottage cheese into a medium-sized breakfast bowl. Use the back of your spoon to create a slight well in the center. This creates a beautiful “nest” for your toppings and ensures you get a bit of creamy cheese in every single bite. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can quickly pulse the cottage cheese in a blender for ten seconds before adding it to the bowl.
- Arrange the prepared cucumber, tomatoes, and avocado on top of the cottage cheese. Arrange them in sections or toss them together for a rustic look. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the top to add a rich, silky mouthfeel. Sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning and black pepper generously over the bowl. If you are adding a soft-boiled egg, place it right in the center and serve immediately.
