Ingredients
-
2 hard-boiled eggs (jammy or fully set)
-
⅓ cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
-
1 turkey sausage link (pre-cooked = faster!)
-
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
-
¼ cup raw sauerkraut (fermented & unpasteurized for gut love)
-
Toppings: Chili flakes, fresh dill, cracked pepper, everything bagel seasoning (optional, but highly recommended)
Instructions
1️⃣ Boil eggs: Place in a saucepan, cover with water, bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cover 7 mins (jammy) or 11 mins (fully cooked). Chill in ice water, peel, slice.
2️⃣ Sizzle sausage: In a small skillet, brown turkey sausage 2–3 mins per side until heated and crispy-edged.
3️⃣ Sweeten tomatoes: Halve and sprinkle with a tiny pinch of salt.
4️⃣ Assemble: Spread cottage cheese in a bowl. Top with sausage, tomatoes, kraut, sliced eggs. Finish with toppings—chili flakes + dill = flavor fireworks!
Notes

• Tex-Mex twist: Add black beans, avocado & salsa.
• Vegan version: Plant-based sausage + tofu scramble + vegan cottage cheese.
