Description

This cottage cheese avocado toast is a creamy, protein-packed twist on a breakfast classic. Made with mashed avocado, 2% cottage cheese, and chopped egg on hearty whole grain bread, it’s loaded with healthy fats, fiber, and over 30g of protein. Quick to make and easy to customize, it’s the perfect nourishing meal for busy mornings or a light lunch.


Ingredients

Scale

1 large egg, hard-boiled and chopped

2 slices of your favorite bread (whole grain or sourdough recommended)

½ ripe avocado, mashed

½ cup cottage cheese (2% or full-fat for extra creaminess)

Optional Add-Ins for Extra Flavor:

⅛ teaspoon paprika

⅛ teaspoon sea salt

⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (grainy or smooth)

1 tablespoon sliced green onions

Everything but the bagel seasoning, to taste

1 tablespoon hemp seeds (optional, for extra protein and crunch)


Instructions

  1. Boil the Egg:
    Place your egg in a saucepan and cover it with cold water. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let the egg sit in the hot water for 9–12 minutes. Transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water to cool, then peel once it’s fully chilled.

  2. Toast the Bread:
    While the egg cools, toast your bread slices until golden and crispy.

  3. Prepare the Avocado-Cottage Cheese Mix:
    In a medium bowl, combine the mashed avocado, cottage cheese, and chopped hard-boiled egg. Use a fork to mash and mix until the texture is creamy but still a bit chunky.

  4. Season the Mixture:
    Stir in paprika, salt, black pepper, Dijon mustard, and green onions, if using. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.

  5. Assemble the Toast:
    Spread half of the mixture over each slice of toasted bread. Top with everything but the bagel seasoning and a sprinkle of hemp seeds (if desired). Serve immediately and enjoy!
