A quick, nourishing breakfast bowl combining creamy cottage cheese with the savory crunch of everything bagel seasoning, fresh veggies, and optional avocado for a satisfying start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) small-curd, full-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) plain Greek yogurt, unsweetened
  • 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning (poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, sea salt flakes)
  • 1/2 ripe avocado, diced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup diced cucumber
  • 1/4 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives or parsley
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil (optional)
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (225g) of small-curd cottage cheese and 2 tablespoons (30g) of plain Greek yogurt. Whisk or use a fork to blend gently until creamy but still textured.
  2. Dice half a ripe avocado, 1/4 cup cucumber, and 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes. Fold these gently into the whipped cottage cheese mixture.
  3. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of everything bagel seasoning, a pinch of salt (if needed), and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Add 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice and mix gently but thoroughly.
  4. Finely chop 1 tablespoon of fresh chives or parsley and sprinkle on top. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil for a silky finish (optional).
  5. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours. Stir gently before serving.

Notes

Use small-curd cottage cheese for the creamiest texture. If cottage cheese is salty, skip adding extra salt. For a smoother texture, use a food processor but avoid over-blending. Fresh veggies should be chopped just before mixing to maintain crunch. Optional olive oil drizzle adds richness. Can be chilled up to 2 hours before serving. For dairy-free version, substitute cottage cheese with mashed silken tofu and Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt.
