A quick and flavorful breakfast bowl loaded with fresh ingredients like scrambled eggs, black beans, avocado, and cheese, perfect for busy mornings and customizable to your fridge contents.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, preferably free-range
  • ½ cup small-curd cottage cheese
  • 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed (no-salt-added preferred)
  • 1 cup diced fresh tomatoes (Roma or vine-ripened)
  • ½ cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 2 stalks green onion, chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup salsa (fresh or store-bought)
  • Lime wedges for squeezing (optional)

Instructions

  1. Dice tomatoes, red bell pepper, and chop green onions and cilantro. Set aside.
  2. Drain and rinse black beans thoroughly to remove excess sodium. Set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, cumin, and smoked paprika until smooth and combined.
  4. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add diced red bell pepper and sauté for about 3 minutes until slightly softened.
  5. Add black beans to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes until warmed through. Remove veggies from skillet and set aside.
  6. Lower heat to medium-low. Pour egg mixture into the skillet and gently scramble with a spatula, cooking slowly until just set but still moist, about 4-5 minutes.
  7. Assemble the bowl starting with scrambled eggs, then layer sautéed bell peppers and black beans.
  8. Top with fresh tomatoes, sliced avocado, chopped green onions, cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese, and a spoonful of salsa.
  9. Finish with a squeeze of lime if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Scramble eggs with cottage cheese for creamy texture and avoid overcooking eggs to prevent rubberiness. Rinse canned beans to reduce sodium and metallic taste. Sauté bell peppers just until softened to retain crunch. Add fresh toppings like avocado and salsa just before serving to keep freshness. For dairy-free, substitute cottage cheese and cheddar with tofu scramble and vegan cheese.
