Spread 1 tbsp Greek yogurt evenly over the slice of high-protein bread. - Assemble:
Spoon the buffalo eggs generously over the toast. - Air fry:
Place the toast in the air fryer and cook at 375°F (190°C) for 2–3 minutes, until the bread is crisp and the cheese is lightly melted. - Finish:
Drizzle the remaining ½ tsp buffalo sauce over the top. Sprinkle with green onion or chives if desired.
💪 Nutrition
The exact nutrition depends on your bread, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and buffalo sauce. Using high-protein bread and low-fat cottage cheese/Greek yogurt makes this a high-protein, relatively low-carb breakfast.
Tip: For extra protein, add another tablespoon of cottage cheese or a little extra Greek yogurt.
This is high-protein and low-carb, but whether it fits a weight-loss plan depends on your overall calorie intake for the day.
