It’s super easy to make, and it’s so delicious! Feel free to adjust the recipe to your liking, but here’s how I made it:

Ingredients:

Eggs (use as many as you’d like)
1 tbsp butter or oil (for scrambling eggs)
Pinch of salt
Fresh cracked pepper
1 serving cottage cheese
Half an avocado (approximately 65g)
Red onions (finely diced, optional)
Jalapeños (finely diced, optional)
Fresh herbs (such as cilantro or basil, optional)
Hot sauce or sriracha (optional)
Chile lime seasoning (optional)
Everything bagel seasoning (optional)

Instructions:

Make the Scrambled Eggs: Begin by preparing your scrambled eggs. Whisk together however many eggs you’d like to use. Add them to a cold pan along with 1 tablespoon of butter or oil. Place the pan over low-medium heat, and gently move the eggs back and forth with a spatula. Be patient—this slow cooking method will yield the creamiest, most delicious scrambled eggs.
Finish the Eggs: Once the eggs are almost fully cooked, turn off the heat. The residual heat will continue to cook the eggs to perfection. Season with a pinch of salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste.
Assemble the Bowl: Grab a bowl and spread a serving of cottage cheese at the bottom. Place the scrambled eggs on top of the cottage cheese.
Add the Avocado: Slice half an avocado (approximately 65g) and add it to the bowl alongside the eggs.
Add Flavorful Toppings: Enhance the flavor with some lower-calorie, flavorful additions. I like to add finely diced red onions and jalapeños for a bit of spice. You can also sprinkle on fresh herbs like cilantro or basil, and finish with a drizzle of hot sauce or sriracha if you like some heat.
Season to Perfection: Top everything off with some chile lime seasoning and everything bagel seasoning for an extra burst of flavor.
