Description
Start your day right with this protein-packed Cottage Cheese & Egg Breakfast – quick, tasty, and perfect for a healthy morning boost!
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat, as preferred)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 1/4 cup milk (or oat milk for a dairy-light option)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 4 slices of sourdough or whole grain bread
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 4 strips turkey bacon or regular bacon (optional)
- 1 tbsp fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
1. Prep the Base
- Lightly toast your bread slices and set them aside. If you’re using bacon, cook it until crispy and chop into small bits.
2. Mix the Egg Mixture
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir in the cottage cheese and optional cheddar cheese.
3. Cook the Eggs
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with olive oil or butter. Pour in the egg mixture and cook slowly, stirring gently to create soft, creamy curds. Don’t overcook — you’re aiming for fluffy, moist eggs.
4. Assemble the Breakfast
- Place the toast on a plate. Spoon the egg and cottage cheese mixture on top. Sprinkle with chopped bacon and fresh herbs.
5. Serve Hot
- Enjoy immediately with a side of fresh fruit or a hot cup of coffee!
Notes
- Store leftover egg mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
- Toast can be kept separate to avoid sogginess.
