Equipment

  • Small pot
  • Nonstick skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Knife
  • cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • ¼ avocado sliced
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Optional

  • Red pepper flakes
  • Everything bagel seasoning
  • Fresh herbs

Instructions
 

  • Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the eggs and cook for 7 minutes for jammy yolks or 9–10 minutes for fully set yolks. Transfer to cold water, peel, and set aside. Alternatively, heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook eggs to your preference (sunny side up, over-easy, or scrambled). Season lightly.
  • Add baby spinach to a skillet over medium heat. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring gently, until wilted. Remove from heat before excess moisture develops.
  • Spoon cottage cheese into a bowl and spread evenly across the bottom to create a creamy base.
  • Slice the eggs in half if boiled, or place cooked eggs directly on top. Add spinach, cherry tomatoes, and avocado around the bowl, spacing evenly.
  • Season with salt and black pepper. Add optional toppings like red pepper flakes or everything bagel seasoning. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Boiled eggs can be prepped in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Slice avocado fresh for best texture, or coat with lemon juice to slow browning.
  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for a creamier texture and slightly higher calories.
  • This bowl works well as breakfast, post-workout meal, or light lunch.
