This is one of those breakfasts (or lunches!) that feels fancy but takes less than 10 minutes.
It’s got creamy cottage cheese, soft scrambled eggs, buttery avocado, and a spicy Sriracha drizzle to wake up your taste buds.
It’s protein-packed, full of texture, and super satisfying. I make this all the time when I want something quick, healthy, and really tasty.
🍳 Why I Love This Recipe
I started making this after needing a high-protein breakfast that wasn’t boring. Cottage cheese was trending, and I had to see what the fuss was about. Now I’m hooked.
- You get protein from both eggs and cottage cheese
- It’s creamy, spicy, and filling without feeling heavy
- Super customizable – spice it up, dress it down
- Great way to use up leftover avocado or bread
What You’ll Need
- 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread
- ½ cup cottage cheese (whipped or creamy-style)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ avocado, sliced
- 1 tsp butter or olive oil
- Sriracha sauce, to taste
- Salt & pepper
- Optional: flaky sea salt, lime wedge
👩🍳 Pro Tips
- Use whipped cottage cheese if texture bothers you — super creamy and smooth.
- Scramble your eggs low and slow for soft, creamy curds.
- Toast your bread right before topping so it stays crispy under everything.
- Add your Sriracha last so it doesn’t melt into the eggs.
- A tiny pinch of flaky salt and lime juice on top makes all the flavors pop.
🔧 Tools Required
- Toaster or toaster oven
- Small nonstick skillet
- Rubber spatula
- Butter knife or spoon
- Cutting board & knife
- Small bowl
🔁 Substitutions & Variations
- Swap Sriracha for chili crisp, hot honey, or red pepper flakes
- Try ricotta or Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese
- Use gluten-free or keto bread
- Add fresh herbs or a poached egg instead of scrambled
🧊 Make-Ahead Tips
- Whip cottage cheese in advance and keep in the fridge for 3–4 days
- Scrambled eggs don’t keep well, so cook fresh
- Pre-slice avocado and store with a little lemon juice to prevent browning
🔥 Instructions
1. Toast the Bread
Pop your slices in the toaster or toast them until golden and crispy.
2. Scramble the Eggs
Crack eggs into a bowl and beat with a pinch of salt. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low, melt butter, then add eggs. Gently stir until soft curds form and eggs are just set.
3. Spread Cottage Cheese
Spread cottage cheese evenly over each slice of toast. Go all the way to the edges.
4. Add Scrambled Eggs
Spoon soft scrambled eggs right on top of the cottage cheese layer.
5. Add Avocado
Layer the sliced avocado over the eggs. You can fan them out or keep it rustic.
6. Drizzle with Sriracha then Serve
Drizzle your Sriracha over the whole thing and finish with black pepper, sea salt, and a tiny squeeze of lime if you’d like.
Slice in half or eat whole. Serve immediately while the toast is still crisp.
7. Serve & Enjoy
Slice in half or eat whole. Serve immediately while the toast is still crisp.
🧊 Leftovers & Storage
This is best made fresh. But if needed:
- Store components separately for up to 2 days
- Toast and eggs don’t hold up well combined after sitting
- Reheat eggs gently on the stove
🔬 Why This Recipe Works (Quick Science)
- Cottage cheese = complete protein and moisture
- Eggs cook slowly to stay tender and not rubbery
- Acid from lime + spice from Sriracha balance the fat from eggs and avocado
- Toasted bread holds it all without getting soggy
🍽️ Meal Plan Ideas
- Breakfast: Pair with fresh berries or a smoothie
- Lunch: Add a side salad with lemon vinaigrette
- Snack: Make it open-face on one slice for something lighter
- Dinner: Add a fried egg on top and a handful of arugula
🚫 Common Mistakes
- Scrambling eggs too fast on high heat = dry and rubbery
- Not seasoning each layer — add a little salt to the cottage cheese too
- Overloading with too many toppings (it’ll slide right off)
- Using untoasted bread — you’ll get soggy results
🍴 What to Serve With
- Fresh fruit like mango or strawberries
- Simple green salad with lemon or balsamic
- Hash browns or roasted sweet potatoes
- Cold brew coffee or green tea
❓FAQ
Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes! Use mashed avocado or dairy-free cream cheese instead of cottage cheese.
What kind of bread works best?
Thick-cut sourdough or whole grain holds up well and adds texture.
Can I make this without Sriracha?
Totally. Use hot sauce, chili flakes, or skip it for a milder version.
Do I have to use whipped cottage cheese?
Nope! Regular small curd works fine — whipped is just smoother.
