Ingredients
1 egg
2 slices of bread
½ avocado
½ cup cottage cheese
Optional flavor boosters:
⅛ teaspoon paprika
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon sliced green onion
Everything but the bagel seasoning
1 tablespoon hemp seeds
Instructions
- Hard boil the egg: Place egg in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit 9–12 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath, cool, peel, and chop.
- Toast the bread: Toast slices until golden brown.
- Make the topping: In a bowl, mash together avocado, cottage cheese, and chopped egg with a fork until creamy.
- Season: Stir in paprika, salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, and green onion if desired. Mix well.
- Assemble: Spread mixture evenly over the toasted bread slices.
- Finish: Sprinkle with everything but the bagel seasoning and hemp seeds before serving.
Notes
- Swap cottage cheese for Greek yogurt or ricotta for variation.
- Add sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, or radishes for freshness.
- Use sourdough, rye, or multigrain bread for variety.
- Skip the egg for a vegetarian version.
- Mix in lemon juice to prevent avocado from browning if prepping ahead.
