Step-by-step Instructions with Pictures:
Step 1: Toast the bread.
Place the bread slices in the toaster and toast to your desired level of crispness.
Step 2: Cook the egg(s).
Melt a knob of butter or drizzle olive oil in a small non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and shimmering (or the oil is hot), crack the egg(s) carefully into the pan. Cook to your preference (sunny-side up, over easy, over medium, or scrambled). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 3: Assemble the toast.
Once the toast is ready, spread cottage cheese evenly over each slice.
Step 4: Add chilli jam.
Spoon the chilli jam over the cottage cheese on each slice of toast. You can add more or less depending on your preference for spice and sweetness.
Step 5: Top with the egg(s).
Carefully place the cooked egg(s) on top of the chilli jam and cottage cheese.
Step 6: Garnish and serve.
Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and optional fresh herbs if desired.
