The Deets
Lately, I’ve been trying to get back into a healthier routine, focusing on eating well and staying consistent with my workouts. One of the breakfasts that has quickly become a staple in my mornings is this herby lemon cottage cheese toast with smoked salmon. It’s so simple to make but feels like such a treat—it’s creamy, tangy, and perfectly savory, all at once. I used Breakstones Cottage Cheese which is so creamy and delicious.
I love how it’s packed with protein from the cottage cheese and salmon, giving me the energy I need to start my day strong. Plus, it’s a great way to sneak in some extra herbs and fresh lemon, which add a burst of flavor without much effort. The best part? It only takes a few minutes to put together, making it the perfect option for busy weekdays when I want something nutritious but don’t have a lot of time.
If you’re looking for a delicious, healthy breakfast that will leave you feeling satisfied and ready to tackle the day, this one’s for you. The full recipe is below—hope you enjoy it as much as I do! 💛 If you enjoyed this recipe, be sure to check out my other recipes here.
