Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, roughly 6–8 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease, then crumble into pieces.
- Scoop out the cottage cheese into a large bowl to establish a creamy base, smoothing it out evenly.
- Layer the crumbled bacon, chopped romaine lettuce, and halved cherry tomatoes over the cottage cheese.
- Drizzle balsamic glaze over the assembled ingredients.
- Sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper and optional cayenne or lemon for a kick.
- Serve immediately alongside whole grain crackers or toasted bread.
