Notes

Scramble: Add spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers; blend the cottage cheese if you prefer a smoother texture; avoid high heat for soft curds; serve with whole-grain toast or fresh fruit. Savory bowl: English cucumber can replace Persian; almonds or pumpkin seeds can replace pistachios; everything-bagel seasoning works well; this recipe requires no cooking. Pizza bowl: Use plant-based pepperoni to keep the dish vegan; blend the cottage cheese for a smoother texture; add mushrooms, peppers, spinach, or jalapeños; serve with mini bell peppers for a lower-carb option; choose marinara with little added sugar.
