Instructions

  1. Prepare the bowl: Place the cottage cheese in a serving bowl as the base for your breakfast bowl, providing a creamy and protein-rich foundation.

  4. Garnish and season: Sprinkle fresh chopped dill and everything bagel seasoning over the bowl to enhance the taste with herbaceous and savory notes representative of a traditional bagel experience.

Notes

  • Use full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese according to your preference for creaminess and calorie content.
  • Substitute smoked salmon with smoked trout or thinly sliced turkey for variation.
  • Fresh dill is preferred for the best flavor, but dried dill can be used in a pinch.
  • Everything bagel seasoning can be purchased pre-made or prepared at home with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried onion, garlic, and salt.
  • This bowl is best enjoyed immediately to maintain the fresh and crisp texture of the vegetables and smoked salmon.
