This is a recipe I eat at least once a week...so commonly included in my diet that my boyfriend coined it (for unknown reasons) a "Broach." I used to pile the toppings on a rice cake, but since running out of this ingredient, I instead pile it on a bed of brown rice or quinoa. Eat it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner...even mix up the spices! It's a versatile recipe that is sure to satisfy!

1 Roma tomato (diced)
1/2 Green Bell Pepper (diced)
1/2 Avocado (diced)
5 sprigs of fresh cilantro (chopped)
2 tablespoons of your favorite salsa
2 tablespoons non-fat cottage cheese
1/8 teaspoon oregano
1/8 teaspoon basil
1 egg
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
1 tablespoon shredded mozzarella
Salt and pepper to taste

1. Place your diced tomato, green pepper, avocado, cilantro, salsa, and spices in a bowl. 2. Microwave for 1.5 minutes. Add the cottage cheese and microwave for another 1.5 minutes. You can also saute the veggies on the stove if you prefer. 3. While heating your veggie mixture, heat a greased non-stick skillet. Crack your egg onto the skillet and break up the yolk. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. 4. Let the egg cook until the top is nearly solid. Flip and turn off the heat. 5. Arrange your brown rice on a plate. Top the rice with your veggie mixture and mozzarella. 6. Complete the final layer of your "Broach" by flipping the fried egg onto the veggie mixture. 7. Enjoy!
