High Protein Avocado Toast
This isn't your average Avocado Toast. Piled onto thick, buttery toasted bread, you get creamy mashed avocado, a scoop of cottage cheese, a fluffy cloud of grated hard-boiled egg, and a drizzle of honey that pulls everything together. It clocks in at 23 grams of protein per serving and genuinely keeps you full well past lunchtime.
Ingredients
- 1 slice sourdough bread
- 1 tsp butter
- ½ small avocado
- ¼ tsp everything but the bagel seasoning or substitute with a pinch of coarse salt
- ⅓ cup low fat cottage cheese
- 1 large ard-boiled egg
- 1 tsp honey for drizzling
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes or added to taste
Instructions
- Toast the bread: Butter both sides of the bread, then toast it in a skillet over medium heat until it's crisp and beautifully golden.
- Mash the avocado: Spread the avocado over the warm toast and mash it with a fork right on the bread—no extra bowl needed. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning.
- Add the cottage cheese: Spread an even layer of cottage cheese over the avocado, taking it close to the edges so you get a little in every bite.
- Grate the egg: Using the fine side of a box grater, grate the boiled egg directly over the toast to create a light, fluffy layer.
- Finish and serve: Drizzle with honey, then sprinkle on red pepper flakes to your preferred level of heat. Serve immediately while the toast is warm and crisp.
Notes
- Nutrition is estimated based on one thick slice of sourdough, half a medium avocado, ¼ cup low-fat cottage cheese, one hard-boiled egg, and a light drizzle of honey.
- Swap low-fat cottage cheese for full-fat to increase calories and fat slightly.
- Bread choice will affect carb and calorie counts — sourdough and artisan breads vary by brand and thickness.
- For lower sodium, use a pinch of salt and pepper in place of everything bagel seasoning.
