Ingredients
Egg
- 1 egg
Bread
- 2 slices of bread
Avocado Cottage Cheese Mix
- ½ an avocado
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ⅛ tsp paprika
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp sliced green onion
Toppings
- Everything but the bagel seasoning
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Hard boil the egg: Place the egg in a medium pot and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pot and remove from heat. Let the egg cook in the warm water, covered, for 9-12 minutes. Immediately transfer the egg to a bowl of ice water to cool and stop cooking. Once cool, gently crack and peel the shell.
- Toast the bread: Toast the 2 slices of bread to your preferred crispness using a toaster or oven.
- Prepare the avocado cottage cheese mix: In a medium bowl, combine the avocado, cottage cheese, and peeled hard-boiled egg. Use a fork to gently mash these ingredients together until smooth and well-blended.
- Season the mixture: Add paprika, salt, black pepper, Dijon mustard, and sliced green onion to the mashed mix. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Assemble the toast: Spread half of the avocado cottage cheese blend over each slice of toasted bread. Sprinkle everything but the bagel seasoning and hemp seeds (if using) generously on top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Use ripe avocado for a creamier texture and better flavor.
- Hemp seeds are optional but add a nice crunch and nutritional boost.
- Everything but the bagel seasoning enhances flavor but can be omitted for a low-sodium option.
- The hard-boiled egg can be cooked to preference, but 9-12 minutes yields a firm yolk ideal for this recipe.
- Use gluten-free bread to make this recipe gluten-free if desired.
