Hard-Boiled Eggs + Gluten-Free Cottage Cheese Waffle (My Everyday Balanced Breakfast)

This might sound like the weirdest combination — and honestly, it kind of is — but don’t knock it until you try it!

It’s salty, sweet, packed with protein, and keeps me full for hours without spiking blood sugar. My everyday breakfast, made simple.

I used to skip breakfast (intermittent fasting girlie here 🙋🏼‍♀️), but with Hashimoto’s, hormone healing, and adrenal recovery, I had to rethink everything. Breakfast became non-negotiable, and this is the one that stuck. It’s quick, easy, and actually enjoyable — which means I stay consistent.

Why I Love This Breakfast

• Protein-forward: Hard-boiled eggs + cottage cheese = long-lasting energy.

• Balanced: Carbs, fats, greens, protein, all in one plate.

• Hormone-friendly: Eating within an hour of waking keeps my body stable (no crashes, no cravings).

• Easy cleanup: No pans, no stress — just eggs, toaster, and done.

Hard-Boiled Eggs + Gluten Free Cottage Cheese Waffle

Ingredients

• 2 or 3 eggs

• Kinder’s The Blend seasoning

• ½–1 cup microgreens (I love cilantro microgreens — they last and are nutrient-packed)

• Hot sauce (your favorite)

• 1 gluten-free waffle (I love Van’s Blueberry GF Waffles)

• Good Culture Full Fat or Double Cream Cottage Cheese (non-negotiable, trust me)

• Cinnamon powder

• Hot honey

Directions:

1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add eggs and cook 13 minutes. Drain and cool in ice water (or just set aside to cool).

2. Toast your waffle until crisp. Tip: For extra crunch, wrap the frozen waffle in a damp paper towel, microwave 20 seconds, then crisp in a hot pan with coconut oil.

3. Plate your microgreens.

4. Peel eggs and place on top of greens. Season with The Blend and drizzle with hot sauce.

5. Spread cottage cheese over your toasted waffle. Top with cinnamon and a drizzle of hot honey.

Nerdy Nutrition Note

If you follow Jessie Inchauspé (aka Glucose Goddess), you know: eat veggies + fats first, protein second, carbs third, and sugar last to minimize spikes. This plate checks every box, keeps me full, and supports steady energy all morning.

Why It Works for Me

As a full-time business owner with full-time ADHD, weekday meals have to be simple. I save the creative, experimental cooking for weekends. But during the week? I need reliable, repeatable meals that make me feel good without the stress.

This combo is exactly that: nourishing, balanced, and easy to put on repeat.
