A quick, tasty, and savory cottage cheese bowl seasoned with everything bagel seasoning, olive oil, and optional garnishes. Perfect for a snack or light meal that is easy to prepare and full of flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) small-curd cottage cheese
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives or green onions (optional)
  • Lemon zest (optional)
  • Toasted pumpkin seeds or crushed nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Scoop about 1 cup (225g) of small-curd cottage cheese into a mixing bowl and fluff lightly with a spoon to break up any clumps (about 1 minute).
  2. Sprinkle 1 to 2 teaspoons of everything bagel seasoning evenly over the cottage cheese, starting with less if desired (30 seconds).
  3. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil over the mixture (15 seconds).
  4. Add a pinch of freshly ground black pepper to balance the saltiness (10 seconds).
  5. Gently fold the ingredients together using a spoon or small whisk just until combined, being careful not to overmix (30 seconds).
  6. Optionally, sprinkle finely chopped fresh chives or green onions and lemon zest on top (30 seconds).
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning by adding more everything bagel seasoning or pepper if needed. Optionally, sprinkle toasted pumpkin seeds for extra crunch (15 seconds).
  8. Serve immediately or keep chilled and add garnishes just before serving.

Notes

If cottage cheese is watery, drain slightly before mixing to avoid a runny bowl. Use small-curd cottage cheese for creamier texture. Adjust seasoning gradually to avoid overpowering. Fresh olive oil and freshly ground pepper enhance flavor. Optional add-ins include cayenne pepper, fresh herbs, cooked quinoa, smoked salmon, or seasonal vegetables. Store leftovers covered in the fridge up to 2 days; add seasoning and olive oil just before serving.
