Everything Bagel Cottage Cheese & Cucumber Bowl with cottage cheese, cucumber, radishes, cherry tomatoes and everything seasoning in a terracotta ceramic bowl

Cottage cheese doesn't have to be sweet. Topped like a savory bagel with crunchy vegetables and everything seasoning, it's a quick breakfast or lunch with a lot of protein for very little work.

Why this recipe works

Crunchy, watery vegetables balance the creamy cheese, and the seasoning provides salt, garlic and toasted seeds.

Ingredient notes

About 21 grams of protein per bowl from the cottage cheese (an estimate based on typical labels).

Common mistakes

  • Adding salt; the seasoning is salty.
  • Using watery, out-of-season tomatoes.

What to serve with it

Crispbread or toast.

Meal prep

Pack vegetables separately; assemble daily.
