Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 3/4 cup cottage cheese (2% fat recommended)
Toppings
- 1 boiled egg (halved, cooked 8 minutes)
- 1/2 medium avocado (cubed)
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
Seasonings and Accompaniments
- Chili crisp (to taste)
- Everything bagel seasoning (or other preferred seasonings, to taste)
- Bread, English muffin, crackers, or pita (preferably whole wheat or high fiber, as desired)
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Boil the egg for about 8 minutes to achieve a firm yolk, then peel and halve it. Cube the avocado and halve the cherry tomatoes. This prep ensures all toppings are ready to assemble.
- Assemble the bowl: Spoon the cottage cheese into a bowl as the base. Arrange the boiled egg halves, cubed avocado, and halved cherry tomatoes evenly on top of the cottage cheese.

- Serve with accompaniments: Enjoy the savory cottage cheese bowl immediately, optionally alongside whole wheat or high-fiber bread, English muffin, crackers, or pita to complement the meal.
Notes
- Boiling the egg for exactly 8 minutes ensures a perfectly cooked yolk without overcooking.
- Substitute chili crisp with hot sauce or chili flakes for different spice profiles.
- Use fresh, ripe avocado for the best creamy texture and flavor.
- Pairing with whole wheat or high-fiber bread increases the fiber content and makes the meal more filling.
- This recipe is highly adaptable; feel free to add other fresh vegetables or herbs as desired.
