Method

Simple steps

  1. 01

    Cook the eggs to your preference. For the lower-calorie portion, scramble the whole egg and egg whites until set.

  2. 02

    Season the cottage cheese with lemon juice, dill, salt and pepper.

  3. 03

    Add the chickpeas, cucumber and tomatoes to the bowl.

  4. 04

    Top with the cooked eggs and serve with the pita when using the higher-carb portion.

Storage + reheating

Refrigerate the cottage cheese, chickpeas and vegetables for up to 2–3 days. Store cooked eggs separately and keep the pita dry until serving.

Accuracy notes

  • Nutrition depends on the cottage-cheese fat percentage and pita label.
  • Rinse canned chickpeas if you want less sodium.
