Spicy Egg and Cottage Cheese Toast

This is a small, satisfying toast built around protein instead of carbs. Cottage cheese gets mashed with hot sauce and black pepper until creamy, spread thick on a slice of gluten-free toast, then topped with a fried egg so it eats like a real breakfast. It comes together in one pan in under ten minutes and packs over 25g of protein without being heavy or greasy.
