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.
