Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese (2% is ideal for creaminess)
- 2 large hard-boiled eggs
- 2 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup English cucumber, diced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon Everything Bagel seasoning
- 1 teaspoon fresh chives, minced
- Optional: A drizzle of sriracha or balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Protein Elements
Begin by boiling your eggs if you haven’t prepped them already. Place the eggs in a pot of cold water, bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat for 10 minutes. Transfer them to an ice bath immediately to make peeling easier. While the eggs sit, cook your turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, then chop it into small bits. - Step 2: Chop the Fresh Produce
Wash your vegetables thoroughly. Dice the English cucumber into small, uniform cubes and slice the cherry tomatoes in half. If you are prepping this for several days, keep the vegetables in a separate small container or silicone insert to ensure they don’t release moisture into the cottage cheese, which keeps everything crisp and fresh. - Step 3: Assemble and Season
Scoop one cup of cottage cheese into a bowl or meal prep container. Arrange the sliced hard-boiled eggs, diced cucumber, tomatoes, and crumbled turkey bacon on top. Generously sprinkle the Everything Bagel seasoning and fresh chives over the entire bowl. If you prefer a kick, add a dash of sriracha or black pepper before sealing the lid.
