I’ve been finding so many delicious and easy cottage cheese breakfast ideas. I use to snack on cottage cheese in college as a little protein snack, but recently I’ve been a little more creative with cottage cheese recipes for the family. Here are my favorite ways to use Hood cottage cheese for a healthy breakfast.
1. Cottage Cheese Toasts
I love using cottage cheese as a spread. This cottage cheese breakfast idea can be sweet or savory depending on your preferences.
Sweet Cottage Cheese Toast
- Spread Hood cottage cheese country style on a multigrain toast
- Top toast with fruits of your choice: strawberries, peaches, etc.
- Drizzle with honey and add a dash of black sesame seeds
Savory Cottage Cheese Toasts
- Spread Hood cottage cheese on a multigrain toast
- Add crispy bacon, 1/2 avocado sliced, 1 over-medium egg
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper
2. Cottage Cheese Waffles
Another great cottage cheese breakfast idea is to make cottage cheese waffles. This is a great way to get a picky toddler to eat a healthier waffle and add a pack of protein! Hood cottage cheese contains around 13-17 grams of protein depending on what flavor you choose.
Try this recipe from Taste of Home. I used Hood Cottage Cheese with Strawberry for a hint of strawberry in the waffles. It gave the waffles extra flavor without being overpowering.
3. Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowl
A cottage cheese fruit bowl is a perfect morning breakfast. This cottage cheese breakfast idea is healthy and easy to create!
Cottage Cheese Fruit Bowl
- Add a 5.3 oz single-serve container of Hood Cottage Cheese with Pineapple to a bowl
- Add fruits: pineapple, blueberries, strawberries
- Top with coconut strips and black sesame seeds
- Drizzle with honey if desired
These are some easy cottage cheese breakfast ideas using Hood cottage cheese. They come in a lot of different flavors from sweet, savory or classic. It’s a great way to add calcium and protein into your diet. Hope you enjoy these cottage cheese breakfast ideas!
