Instructions

Boil the Eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan of boiling water or an egg boiler. Cook until the yolks are set but creamy, then peel and set aside.

Toast the Base: Lightly coat a pan with cook-and-spray. Toast the baked squares on one side until golden and crisp.

Prepare the Smash: In a small bowl, combine the avocado and smooth cottage cheese. Season with sea salt and black pepper, then mash together until creamy but slightly chunky.

Assemble: Spread the avocado-cottage cheese mixture generously over the toasted side of the squares.

Layer: Top the mash with a layer of fresh micro-leaves. Slice the boiled eggs into circles and arrange them over the herbs.

Garnish: Finish with a generous dusting of Everything Bagel Sprinkle and crushed chilli spice for a touch of heat.

Chef's Notes

Protein Hack: Mixing cottage cheese into the avocado is an excellent way to increase the protein volume of the meal without significantly increasing the calorie count of the “smash.”

Meal Prep: You can boil a batch of eggs at the start of the week to make this a 5-minute assembly breakfast during workdays. Store peeled eggs in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Texture Tip: Toasting only one side of the square keeps the base sturdy enough to hold the toppings while remaining soft on the inside.
