Ingredients
- 2 teaspoon olive oil avocado oil is a great alternative
- 2 large whole eggs fresh
- 1 slice whole-grain bread
- 1 tablespoon cottage cheese spreadable
- ¼ avocado thinly sliced
- ¼ cup microgreens
- 1-2 tablespoon homemade dressing suggested: olive oil-lemon dressing
- 1 cup kefir served on the side
Instructions
- Fry the eggs: Using olive oil or non-stick cooking spray, heat a large skillet over medium heat and fry the eggs to your preferred doneness (sunny-side-up or over-easy is recommended)—season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Toast the bread: Lightly toast the slice of whole-grain bread for a crunchy base.
- Assemble the toast: Spread one tablespoon of cottage cheese evenly over the toasted bread. Layer the avocado slices on top of the cottage cheese, gently spreading them to create a creamy layer.
- Add microgreens: Add ¼ cup of fresh microgreens on the side for a flavorful, nutrient-packed finish. Drizzle a bit of the olive oil-lemon dressing over the microgreens for extra flavor.
- Serve and plate: Place the fried eggs next to the prepared toast. Pour the remaining dressing over the eggs or serve it on the side. Pour 1 cup of kefir into a glass and serve it alongside the meal for a refreshing, probiotic-rich drink.

Quick Tip!
For perfectly fried eggs with a runny yolk, cook them on low heat and cover the pan for the last 30 seconds. This helps set the whites while keeping the yolk beautifully soft!
