Wheat Free Gluten Free Tomato Basil Cottage Cheese Bowl
Creamy, vibrant, and ready in minutes, this bowl is the kind of effortless meal that somehow feels fancy enough to serve at brunch. Full-fat cottage cheese forms a rich, protein-packed base, while juicy cherry tomatoes and torn fresh basil bring brightness and a garden-fresh aroma that makes the whole thing irresistible. A drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil ties everything together with a silky finish, and the optional balsamic glaze adds just enough sweetness to balance the savory notes. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of wheat, so there's no swapping, substituting, or label-squinting required — it's just clean, whole food from start to finish. The optional red pepper flakes give it a gentle kick if you're in the mood, and flaky sea salt on top makes every bite feel intentional. It works beautifully as a light lunch, a high-protein snack, or even a starter when you have guests who need to avoid gluten or wheat without feeling like they're missing out.
