Ingredients
- 1 slice bread, whatever kind you prefer; I recommend a sturdier piece of bread
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup cottage cheese, I use whole milk cottage cheese for a richer flavor
- ½ teaspoon everything bagel seasoning, or to taste (I use my homemade everything bagel seasoning)
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- chopped fresh chives, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the bread to your liking.Use your favorite method: toaster, toaster oven, under the broiler, air fryer, etc.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat (I use and recommend a non-stick pan). Crack the egg into the pan and cook until the white is set and the yolk is done the way you like it* (runny, jammy or hard).If the edges of the egg whites are getting to brown and crispy for your liking, reduce the heat.You can flip the egg for over-easy, over-medium or over-hard instead of sunny-side-up, if you prefer.
- Put the toast on a plate. Spread the cottage cheese evenly over the toast.
- Evenly sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning over the cottage cheese.
- Top the seasoned cottage cheese with the fried egg.
- Season the egg to taste with salt and pepper. Top with fresh chives, if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
- A sturdier bread, once toasted, will hold up better to the cottage cheese and egg without getting soggy too quickly.
- I like to leave the amount of cottage cheese that I'm going to use sit out for a few minutes so it's not ice cold.
- The recipe is written for a single serving, but you can easily scale it up and make as many servings as you need.
- Feel free to cook the egg any way you'd like. A poached egg, soft-boiled egg, hard-boiled egg or even a scrambled egg can be used instead of a fried egg.
- *Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.
