Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 slice whole grain or sourdough bread
  • 2 tablespoons cottage cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter (for toasting bread)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Garnishes

  • Fresh herbs (chives, cilantro, or parsley)
  • Sprinkle of sesame seeds or hemp seeds

Optional Variations

  • Sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, or spinach (for veggie boost)
  • Ricotta cheese or Greek yogurt (alternative to cottage cheese)
  • Smoked salmon or turkey bacon (for extra protein)
  • Gluten-free or grain-free bread (for gluten-free option)

Instructions

  1. Toast Your Bread: Start by toasting your slice of whole grain or sourdough bread until golden and crisp. This creates a sturdy base that holds the creamy and saucy toppings without getting soggy.
  2. Cook the Egg: Fry or poach your egg to your liking—runny yolks add a luscious richness, while fully cooked eggs offer a firmer texture. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Spread Cottage Cheese: Generously spread creamy cottage cheese over the toasted bread. This adds a mild, tangy flavor and a wonderful creamy texture that contrasts with the crispy toast.
  4. Add the Egg: Place the cooked egg on top of the cottage cheese layer for the perfect protein pairing.
  5. Drizzle Sriracha: Finish with a generous drizzle of sriracha sauce to introduce that signature spicy kick which gives the toast its unforgettable flavor.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, top with fresh herbs like chives, cilantro, or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added color and taste.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs cook better and taste richer for the best texture and flavor.
  • Toast properly: Make sure the bread is well-toasted to avoid sogginess when adding cottage cheese and egg.
  • Adjust sriracha carefully: Start with a small amount and add more to suit your spice tolerance.
  • Drain cottage cheese: If your cottage cheese is watery, strain it slightly to prevent the toast from becoming soggy.
  • Prep ingredients ahead: Having cottage cheese measured and eggs ready to cook cuts down your morning prep time.
