How to Make This Protein-Packed Breakfast

Step 1 Crack two eggs into a hot, buttered pan. Fry them sunny-side up or scramble if you prefer. Butter adds rich flavor and crisp edges. Keep the yolk runny for dipping toast. (Hard-learned tip: Let butter foam before adding eggs—it prevents sticking.) Step 2 Toast two slices of bread until golden. Spread a thin layer of butter while warm. Choose whole grain for extra fiber and crunch. Pair with fresh fruit for natural sweetness. What’s your go-to fruit for breakfast? Share below!

Keep It Fresh or Freeze It

This breakfast stays fresh in the fridge for two days. Store eggs and cottage cheese in airtight containers. Toast is best made fresh, but you can freeze it. Just pop it in the toaster later. *Fun fact*: My neighbor freezes her fruit topping for smoothies—smart swap! Batch-cooking tip: Fry eggs ahead and reheat gently in a pan. Cottage cheese lasts a week, so make extra. Why this matters? A ready-to-go breakfast saves busy mornings. What’s your go-to make-ahead trick? Share below!

Fix Common Flops

Soggy toast? Butter it right before eating. Runny eggs? Cook them a minute longer next time. Cottage cheese too bland? Add a pinch of sea salt or herbs. Why this matters? Tiny tweaks make big flavor wins. If fruit turns brown, squeeze lemon juice on it. Eggs sticking? Use more butter or a non-stick pan. Ever had a breakfast fail?
