Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor and texture, ensure your eggs, cottage cheese, and vegetables are fresh. This will elevate the overall taste of your breakfast bowl.

- Customize Your Bowl: Feel free to add other toppings like cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, or even a sprinkle of your favorite herbs to personalize your breakfast bowl.
- Meal Prep: If you’re short on time in the mornings, consider prepping your ingredients the night before. Chop the spinach and slice the avocado so you can whip up this healthy meal in no time!
- Serving Suggestions: Pair this breakfast bowl with a slice of gluten-free toast or a side of fruit for a well-rounded meal that will keep you full until lunch.
