10. Remove the toasted bread from the oven and place on serving plates.
11. Spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly across both toast slices.
12. Carefully place one cooked egg on top of each avocado-covered toast slice.

A buttery, runny yolk cascades over creamy avocado, creating a sauce that soaks into every crunchy crevice of the toast.

1. In a 12-ounce jar or container, combine 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
2. Stir the mixture vigorously for 30 seconds until the maple syrup is fully incorporated and no dry oats remain. Tip: Use a jar with a tight-fitting lid—shake it like a polaroid picture instead of stirring for even easier mixing!
3. In a small bowl, toss 1/2 medium apple (peeled and finely diced) with 1 tsp lemon juice to prevent browning.
4. Fold the apple mixture gently into the oat base until evenly distributed. Tip: For extra flavor, let the diced apples sit with the lemon juice for 2 minutes before adding—it helps them soak up the tartness!
5. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight. Tip: If you’re impatient, a 6-hour chill will work, but 8 hours gives the oats that perfect, creamy texture.
6. After chilling, stir the oats thoroughly to redistribute any settled liquid.
7. Serve cold directly from the jar, or microwave for 45 seconds if preferred warm.

Who knew overnight oats could feel this indulgent? The tender apples melt into the spiced oats, creating a creamy, almost pie-like texture that’s sweet without being cloying. Try topping it with a crunchy granola cluster or a dollop of Greek yogurt for a breakfast that’s basically dessert in disguise.

Cottage Cheese with Sliced Peaches

Unbelievably, we’re about to make cottage cheese cool again—and no, that’s not a dairy industry conspiracy theory. This creamy, dreamy pairing of tangy cottage cheese with sweet, juicy peaches is basically breakfast’s answer to a power couple, and it comes together faster than you can say “but wait, there’s more protein!” Get ready to upgrade your morning routine without breaking a sweat.

Ingredients

• For the base:
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 ripe peach
• For the topping:
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

1. Place 1 cup of full-fat cottage cheese into a medium-sized bowl.
2. Wash the peach thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or residue.
3. Pat the peach completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
4. Slice the peach in half vertically around the pit using a sharp knife.
5. Twist the two halves in opposite directions to separate them.
6. Remove the peach pit by gently scooping it out with a spoon.
7. Cut each peach half into 1/4-inch thick slices. Tip: A slightly firm peach will hold its shape better for neat slices.
8. Arrange the peach slices in a single layer over the cottage cheese in the bowl.
9. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey evenly over the peaches and cottage cheese.
10. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon directly over the honey-coated peaches. Tip: The honey helps the cinnamon stick to the peaches for even flavor distribution.
