Savory Cottage Cheese Recipes – High Protein Breakfast

When you think of cottage cheese, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? A sad bowl of plain, wobbly curds staring back at you? Maybe a diet fad gone wrong? Let’s fix that!

In this blog, I’m going to show you how to turn cottage cheese into a savory rockstar. 

What Ingredients Will I Need? 

• ½ Persian Cucumbers: Crisp, cool, and refreshing (like the calm before a flavorful storm.)
• ½ medium sized Bell Peppers: Sweet, crunchy, and colorful enough to make your bowl Instagram-worthy.
• 10 halved Grape Tomatoes: Tiny bursts of juiciness that keep things lively.
• 2 tablespoon Chives or Scallion Greens: Because every bowl deserves sophistication.
• Leftover Roasted Veggies: The unsung heroes of your fridge!
• 1 tablespoon Pistachios: A handful of crunch. 

Easy Guide To Make Savory Cottage Cheese 

The best part is that you can prep ahead to save time and enjoy a stress-free, delicious meal anytime! Here’s how:

Prep in Advance

1. Chop veggies (except tomatoes) and store them in separate containers.
2. Shell and chop pistachios, if needed, and store them separately.
3. Avoid cutting tomatoes early (they can get soggy). Save those for just before eating.
4. Prep extra veggies to make multiple bowls for the week.

When Ready to Eat

1. Scoop your desired amount of cottage cheese into a bowl.
2. Cut fresh tomatoes and add them to the bowl.
3. Top with prepped veggies and pistachios.
4. Season with salt, pepper, and any other spices you love.

Tips and Suggestions 

• Cucumbers: Use regular or English cucumbers if Persian isn’t available.
• Bell Peppers: Swap red for yellow or orange for a sweeter twist.
• Tomatoes: Cherry tomatoes are a great substitute for grape tomatoes.
• Nuts: Try pine nuts or almonds instead of pistachios.
• Cottage Cheese Swap: Not a fan? Use Greek yogurt instead.
• Seasoning: Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning instead of plain salt for extra flavor.
