Ingredients

You only need a handful of fresh ingredients to make this creamy, savory cottage cheese bowl. Most are pantry or refrigerator staples, making it an easy meal any day of the week.

• 1 cup (225g) full-fat cottage cheese – Full-fat cottage cheese creates the creamiest texture and provides plenty of protein. Blend it until smooth for a rich, whipped consistency, or leave it as-is if you prefer a little texture.

• ½ ripe avocado – Choose an avocado that yields slightly when gently squeezed for the best buttery texture and flavor.

• ½–1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning – This savory seasoning blend adds garlic, onion, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and salt, giving the bowl its classic everything bagel flavor.

• 1 teaspoon olive oil or avocado oil – A light drizzle adds richness and healthy fats while enhancing the creamy texture.

• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional) – A squeeze of lemon brightens the flavors and helps slow the avocado from browning.

• Optional toppings: Cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, microgreens, crushed red pepper flakes, sliced radishes, fresh dill, or cracked black pepper for extra freshness, color, and flavor.

Instructions

1. Add the cottage cheese to a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth and creamy, about 30–60 seconds.

2. Spoon the blended cottage cheese into a serving bowl and arrange the avocado slices on top.

3. Sprinkle generously with everything bagel seasoning and drizzle with olive oil.

4. Add any optional toppings like cucumber, tomatoes, or microgreens. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

Tips

• Blend the cottage cheese for an ultra-smooth texture or leave it unblended for more texture.

• Add avocado just before serving to keep it fresh and green.

• Taste the bowl before adding extra salt, since many everything bagel seasoning blends already contain plenty of sodium.

• Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture.

Variations

• Top with smoked salmon for a bagel-inspired breakfast.

• Add sliced hard-boiled eggs for extra protein.

• Stir in diced cucumber and tomatoes for a fresh Mediterranean-style bowl.

• Sprinkle with feta cheese or fresh dill for extra flavor.

• Add red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.

Make-Ahead & Storage

Blend the cottage cheese up to 2 days ahead and refrigerate it in an airtight container. Slice and add the avocado immediately before serving to prevent browning. Leftovers are best enjoyed fresh since avocado quickly loses its color and texture.

FAQs

Is this cottage cheese bowl keto-friendly?

Yes. Made with full-fat cottage cheese, avocado, and everything bagel seasoning, this bowl is naturally low in carbohydrates and high in protein and healthy fats, making it a great option for many keto and low-carb lifestyles.

What does everything bagel seasoning contain?

Most everything bagel seasoning blends include sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and salt. Some brands also add black sesame seeds or other spices, so check the label if you're watching your sodium intake.

Can I use low-fat cottage cheese instead?

Yes. Low-fat or reduced-fat cottage cheese works well, although full-fat cottage cheese produces the richest, creamiest texture and helps keep the bowl more satisfying.

What are the best toppings for this bowl?

Fresh vegetables like cucumber, cherry tomatoes, radishes, and microgreens pair wonderfully with the creamy cottage cheese and avocado. Smoked salmon, a soft-boiled egg, or sliced turkey also make excellent additions if you'd like a heartier meal.
