Ingredients

1 servings
  • 4 large egg whites — hard-boiled, from 4 large eggs
  • 0.25 cups nonfat cottage cheese
  • 0.5 tbsp fresh dill — chopped
  • 0.125 tsp black pepper — to taste
  • 0.125 tsp salt — to taste

Steps

  1. Halve the hard-boiled egg whites lengthwise, creating 8 pieces.
  2. Mix cottage cheese with fresh dill, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  3. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the cottage cheese mixture onto each egg white half.
  4. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Why This Works

Hard-boiled egg whites provide 17 grams of pure protein with zero fat or carbs. Adding cottage cheese brings another 7 grams of protein while keeping calories under 125. At nearly 20 grams of protein per 100 calories, this is one of the most efficient protein snacks you can make.

Make it your own

Add a pinch of smoked paprika or everything bagel seasoning for extra flavor. Swap dill for chives or parsley. For a spicier version, add a few drops of hot sauce to the cottage cheese mixture.
