A quick and elegant brunch recipe designed for one, featuring creamy eggs with cottage cheese, fresh herbs, and simple sides, ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs (preferably free-range or organic)
  • 1/4 cup small-curd cottage cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or parsley
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 slice whole wheat or white bread, toasted
  • 1/2 ripe avocado, sliced (optional)
  • A handful of cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (for drizzling over tomatoes)
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • A few drops of lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients (5 minutes): Slice the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, and chop fresh herbs. Toast your bread slice to your preferred crispness.
  2. Whisk Eggs (2 minutes): In a mixing bowl, crack 2 large eggs. Add the 1/4 cup small-curd cottage cheese. Whisk gently until combined but still a bit lumpy.
  3. Heat Skillet (1-2 minutes): Place your nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon softened butter and let it melt, swirling to coat evenly.
  4. Cook Eggs (5-7 minutes): Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit for about 30 seconds until edges start to set. Gently stir and fold with your spatula every 15-20 seconds until eggs are soft and creamy.
  5. Season and Finish (1 minute): Sprinkle in chopped herbs, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Give a final gentle fold. Remove from heat when eggs are just set but still moist.
  6. Plate and Garnish (3 minutes): Place eggs on your toasted bread. Arrange avocado slices and cherry tomatoes on the side. Drizzle tomatoes with olive oil and lemon juice. Add extra herbs on top if desired.

Notes

Keep the heat moderate to avoid overcooked eggs—low and slow is best. Whisk eggs gently with cottage cheese to keep curds intact. Add herbs at the end to preserve fresh flavor. Toast bread and prep veggies while eggs cook to save time. For dairy-free, substitute cottage cheese with coconut yogurt and butter with vegan spread.
