High-Protein Breakfast Plate🍳

Honestly, standard breakfast routines can get a bit repetitive, but arranging everything onto one colorful platter completely elevates your morning. It neatly pairs a seasoned fried egg, quality ham, and creamy cottage cheese with a crisp balsamic side salad and tangy mustard toast. It is an incredibly satisfying, high-protein combination that keeps you full for hours without any mid-morning energy slumps! 😉

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • egg
  • 3-4 slices ham
  • ~2 tbsp cottage cheese
Smaller Salad
  • 1 handful lettuce (shredded)
  • 1/2 small cucumber
  • 1/2 small carrot
  • ~3 cherry tomato
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp olive oil (optional)
  • pinch of salt
Toast
  • 1 slice of bread
  • ~1 tbsp cream cheese (I used Lučina)
  • ~1 tsp whole grain mustard
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • ~1 tbsp finely chopped chives

Method
 

  1. The Salad: Into a smaller bowl (or onto your plate) toss together the lettuce, tomato, cut up cucumber, carrot ribbons, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and salt.
  2. Fry the Egg: Crack your egg onto a small skillet on medium heat with a touch of oil. Fry it until the whites set but the yolk stays runny. Season with a bit of salt, black pepper, and sweet paprika.
  3. Toast: While the egg cooks, toast your bread until golden and crisp. Spread a layer of whole grain mustard, then add the cream cheese across the surface.
  4. Assemble: Arrange your ham slices and a scoop of cottage cheese on the plate next to your toast and salad. Slide your warm fried egg on top and scatter fresh chives over everything! Enjoy😉
