Step 1
In a bowl, whisk the 4 eggs with 1/4 tsp salt until just combined. Do not overbeat.
Step 2
Melt 1 tbsp butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the eggs and let them set for 30 seconds.
Step 3
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them from the edges toward the center. When they are softly set but still glossy, about 2-3 minutes, remove from heat.
Step 4
Fold in the 1/2 cup cottage cheese and stir gently until just incorporated. The eggs should be creamy, not dry.
Step 5
Slice the avocado and halve the cherry tomatoes. Arrange the eggs on a plate and top with the smoked salmon, avocado, tomatoes, and 1 tsp sesame seeds.
