Breakfast today was a simple, satisfying plate: Clover full‑fat cottage cheese paired with Bolani eggplant pesto and roasted red bell peppers finished with balsamic vinegar and extra‑virgin olive oil. While dairy is often excluded from strict Paleo plans, I choose to include it occasionally because it works well for me.
I served this with a few slices of deli turkey for added protein, a small handful of roasted, salted macadamia nuts for healthy fats, and some flaked coconut for texture and a touch of natural sweetness. The combination balances creaminess, savory depth from the pesto, and the bright, caramelized flavor of the peppers.
For people who want to recreate this at home: warm or roast bell peppers until the skins char, peel and slice them, then toss with a drizzle of good balsamic and extra‑virgin olive oil. Spoon the eggplant pesto over the cottage cheese or serve it on the side so each bite can be customized. The macadamia nuts add crunch and richness, while the coconut flakes bring a hint of tropical sweetness.
This breakfast is quick to assemble, versatile, and satisfying whether you follow a modified Paleo approach or simply enjoy a nutrient‑dense morning meal. Adjust portion sizes and ingredients to suit your dietary preferences and hunger level.
