Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Cottage cheese (1 cup; 2% or full-fat for best taste and texture)
  • Cherry tomatoes (1 cup, halved)
  • Everything bagel seasoning (1–2 teaspoons, to taste)
  • Olive oil (1–2 teaspoons; optional but recommended)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (a few cracks)
  • Pinch of salt (optional, depending on your seasoning blend)
  • Fresh herbs like chives, dill, or basil (optional garnish)
  • Accompaniments (optional): cucumber slices, avocado, lemon wedge, toasted sourdough or crackers

Method
 

  1. Prep the tomatoes. Rinse and halve the cherry tomatoes. Pat them dry so the bowl doesn’t get watery.
  2. Scoop the cottage cheese. Add 1 cup of cottage cheese to a shallow bowl. Give it a quick stir to loosen it up.
  3. Layer the tomatoes. Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes over the cottage cheese.
  4. Season generously. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning evenly over the top. Start with 1 teaspoon and add more if you like a bolder flavor.
  5. Add olive oil. Drizzle with a little olive oil for richness and a smooth finish.
  6. Finish with pepper and salt. Crack black pepper over the bowl. Add a small pinch of salt only if your seasoning blend isn’t very salty.
  7. Garnish and serve. Top with chopped chives, dill, or torn basil if you have them. Eat as-is or scoop with toast or crackers.
