Cottage Cheese Morning Bowl
  1. 1

    Cook and stir the bacon in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined bowl, reserving the bacon grease in a small bowl.

  2. 2

    Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon reserved bacon grease. Cook the mushrooms and green onions in the hot bacon grease until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a small bowl and keep warm.

  3. 3

    Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon reserved bacon grease. Add the beaten eggs and scramble until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and keep warm.

  4. 4

    Place the cottage cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 50% power until warm, 60 to 90 seconds, stirring halfway through. Drain any liquid that collects and transfer the cottage cheese to one side of a single-serving bowl. Place the scrambled eggs on the other side. Top with the mushroom mixture and bacon.
