cottage cheese + hard-boiled egg toast
Any other cottage cheese fans out there?
I have to admit that I typically keep my cottage cheese-consumption pretty typical. You know, plain. Or with chunks of cantaloupe. Or applesauce. (Which was probably one of my first foods, I ate that combo as a baby!)
But today, in light of a , I decided to step out and try something a little different. So I gave toast a protein boost with a scoop of cottage cheese and a hard-boiled egg. It sounds a little weird, right? But it makes sense.
And it works. It turns out that you can’t really go wrong with a hearty slice of bread topped with creamy cottage cheese, hard-boiled egg and sliced tomato. (Don’t forget a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper to finish things off!) I had my whole family try it out and though everyone was skeptical at first, we all loved it. Or, try swapping out the egg slices for avocado for a protein-boosted twist on avocado toast!
Why do I like cottage cheese?
- It’s high in protein (fun fact: a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese has more than double the protein of an egg!)
- It’s low in sugar
- It tastes good AND it’s satisfying
A serving of cottage cheese is a great addition to any meal, or perfect for a snack. Try it topped with fresh fruit or go the savory route with cucumber, chopped tomatoes, a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt & pepper. Find recipe ideas and .
And please, give this toast a chance!

Hi Emily,
I definitely want to give this toast a chance. Never actually realised that cottage cheese has so much protein in it which is great for me since I feel best on a high protein diet!
This is a really random question, but what toast is that you’re eating? I’ve struggled to find a good brand of toast that is both healthy and tasty!
Thanks!
Hi Steven, try it out!
I switch up my toast…I keep sprouted bread around for everyday use and will also pick up artisan bread for more “special” bread.
I love cottage cheese. Just had it as my morning snack with some black pepper. This toast might have to be tomorrow’s snack!
this sounds good! i usually eat cottage cheese plain as i’m not a huge fan of it. my husband’s family eats it with a swirl of grape jelly, interestingly enough.
Whaaaaaaaat?! I might have to try that! I suppose it would be similar to a fruit-flavored yogurt….
I’ve been OBSESSED with this exact cottage cheese lately. I am loving it with extra salt and roasted sweet potatoes (and maybe ketchup!)
Oh, interesting! So you top the cottage cheese with roasted sweet potatoes?
I love cottage cheese. I was brought up with that and buttermilk. I will give this new recipe with a hard boiled egg a try. My favorite one is Fiber One brand…so creamy and has fiber.
Me too, but I rarely have buttermilk on-hand!
this may be just what i need to try to get me to like cottage cheese. something about the texture, but i’m going to keep changing it up to hit on something right! i know its so good for you.
Do you like it if it’s blended within a recipe? I saw some great-looking pancakes, quiches, etc. that used blended cottage cheese.
This looks great! Cottage Cheese is one of those foods that I love, but rarely eat. Gotta get back on that bandwagon soon!!
I loooove cottage cheese. When asked what my favorite food was as a kid, I always said, “Pickles and cottage cheese.” I used to eat cottage cheese sandwiches and I still top my toast with cottage cheese and avocado sometimes. Mmmm.
Hi I’m Robin. I grew up eating cottage cheese with LaChoy soy sauce in it. For me, it’s a real treat. Sometimes sliced tomato, basil, with a scoop of cottage cheese and a healthy dose of LaChoy (other brands just aren’t the same flavor for this). Anyone else?
Hi Robin! I love that idea, I do love some savory cottage cheese and have heard of adding ranch powder to it, so why not soy!
It sounds delicious to me. I love all three of them individually so combining them together makes sense.
I think the drizzle of olive oil and some fresh tomato slices sounds good. Maybe a slash of lemon juice.
I was just thinking about this combo and decided to google it and see if anyone else had the same idea!! ☺️
Thank you!!!
Yes, those additions sound great!
Why are the recipe pictures not showing up? I’ve tried both my laptop and my phone 🙁
Hi Stacia, I’m sorry they aren’t showing up for you! I should probably take new photos as they are SO old and have been through a few websites, so that might be the problem!
