Ingredients
Method
- Toast the bread: Toast 1 whole grain bread slices to your liking and set aside.
- Whisk the eggs: Crack 3 large eggs into a bowl, add 0.3 teaspoons salt and 0.3 teaspoons black pepper, and whisk until fully combined.
- Scramble the eggs: Melt 1 teaspoons butter in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Pour in the eggs and gently fold with a spatula until just set — don’t overcook.
- Assemble: Spread 60 grams cottage cheese (low-fat) generously over the toast. Top with scrambled eggs and garnish with 1 tablespoons fresh chives (optional) if using. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use low-fat cottage cheese to keep calories down while maximizing protein. For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder to the eggs while whisking. Estimated cost: ~$1.80.
