Ingredients

  • 4 large slices of whole grain bread
  • 2 cups fat free or reduced fat cottage cheese
  • 1 medium avocado
  • 1 cup fresh arugula
  • 1 cup baby tomatoes
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil and/or cooking spray
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice from 1 lemon (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  • Rinse the arugula and tomatoes. Slice the avocado and cut the tomatoes in half (lengthwise).
  • Toast your bread any way you prefer.
  • Heat a medium-sized, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add a touch of olive oil or cooking spray. Once the pan is hot, crack one egg into it at a time. Cook each egg for about 3 minutes, or until the white is set. Flip with a spatula and continue cooking for 30 more seconds. Remove the egg and place it on a large plate. Repeat until all eggs are cooked. Alternatively, you can scramble your eggs or use hard-boiled eggs.
  • To assemble, spread ½ cup of cottage cheese across each piece of toast. Top with avocado, arugula, baby tomatoes, a small drizzle of olive oil, sea salt and pepper to taste, a squeeze of fresh lemon and red pepper flakes (if desired). Enjoy!

Notes

Look for a whole grain bread with zero added sugars and at least 3 grams of fiber per serving.
