Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup low-fat or 2% cottage cheese
- 2 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and halved
- 2 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/4 cup English cucumber, diced
- 5 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon hemp seeds or chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Everything Bagel seasoning
- Fresh chives or green onions for garnish
- Optional: A drizzle of sriracha or hot sauce
Instructions
- Start by preparing your fresh ingredients. Dice the English cucumber into small cubes and halve the cherry tomatoes. If you haven’t already, peel your hard-boiled eggs and slice them in half. If you are meal prepping for the week, you can chop all your vegetables at once and store them in airtight containers. Having everything sliced and ready makes the assembly process take less than two minutes.
- If you are using fresh turkey bacon, cook it in a skillet over medium heat until it reaches your desired level of crispiness. Let it cool slightly on a paper towel to remove excess oil, then crumble it into bite-sized pieces. If you prefer a warm component, you can lightly toast the hemp seeds in a dry pan for 30 seconds to bring out a nutty aroma, though this is optional. For those using pre-cooked bacon, simply microwave it for 10 seconds to take the chill off.
- Scoop one cup of cottage cheese into a wide breakfast bowl or a portable glass mason jar. Arrange the halved hard-boiled eggs on one side and the crumbled turkey bacon on the other. Add the diced cucumbers and tomatoes in the center. Sprinkle the hemp seeds and Everything Bagel seasoning over the top. Finish with a handful of chopped chives and a dash of hot sauce if you like a little kick. Serve immediately or seal the container for a grab-and-go meal.
