Savory Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowl

A protein-packed and flavorful breakfast bowl featuring creamy cottage cheese topped with savory additions like avocado, everything bagel seasoning, and a fried egg. This quick and easy recipe is perfect for a satisfying start to your day.

The Rise of the Savory Breakfast Bowl

Breakfast bowls have become increasingly popular as a customizable and nutritious way to start the day. While sweet breakfast bowls with yogurt and granola are common, savory versions offer a different flavor profile and often pack a greater protein punch. Cottage cheese, once considered a simple diet food, has made a comeback as a versatile ingredient, embraced for its creamy texture and high protein content.

Cottage Cheese: A Nutritional Powerhouse

Cottage cheese is a fresh cheese with a mild flavor and a curd-like texture. It's an excellent source of protein, calcium, and vitamin B12. Its versatility allows it to be used in both sweet and savory dishes. Using cottage cheese as the base for a breakfast bowl provides a substantial and satisfying meal that will keep you feeling full and energized.

Embracing Savory Flavors

This Savory Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowl combines the creamy texture of cottage cheese with complementary savory flavors. The addition of avocado provides healthy fats and a creamy texture, while everything bagel seasoning adds a burst of flavor and crunch. A perfectly fried egg completes the bowl, adding richness and additional protein. Feel free to experiment with other savory toppings to create your own personalized breakfast bowl.
