Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese 240 g
  • 1 large egg 50 g
  • 1 tbsp capers 15 g
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill chopped (3 g)
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives finely sliced (3 g)
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes halved (90 g)
  • ¼ cup cucumber diced (40 g)
  • 1 tsp olive oil 5 ml
  • ¼ tsp sea salt 1 g
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper 1 g

Method
 

  1. Bring a small pot of water to a gentle boil and carefully add the egg, cooking until the whites are firm and the yolk remains slightly soft.
  2. Transfer the cooked egg to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking and make peeling easier.
  3. Place the cottage cheese in a serving bowl and spread it evenly across the bottom to create a creamy base.
  4. Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes and diced cucumber over the cottage cheese to add fresh color and crunch.
  5. Peel the egg and slice it in half so the yolk remains slightly jammy and rich.
  6. Place the egg halves on top of the bowl, allowing the warm yolk to contrast with the cool ingredients.
  7. Sprinkle chopped dill and sliced chives over the bowl so their fresh aroma releases as they touch the ingredients.
  8. Add capers across the top for a subtle salty and briny flavor.
  9. Drizzle olive oil lightly over the ingredients to enhance the creaminess and richness.
  10. Finish with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper before serving immediately.
