This honey cottage cheese dip recipe is the perfect breakfast when you want something totally decadent but also want it in 5 minutes. This beautiful breakfast takes advantage of fresh honey (as a beekeeper, you better believe we always have a few jars around!), and is loaded on creamy and salty cottage cheese. Drizzle some honey on top, add a sprinkle of lemon and cinnamon, and breakfast is served.

You can use your favorite brand of store-bought honey, but if you can find local honey from a beekeeper, definitely try it out! Your local farmers market or food store will likely carry honey from near by, so support your local beekeepers if you can.

What’s In This Cottage Cheese and Honey Recipe?

Be sure to visit the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

Cottage Cheese – you can use non-fat, 2%, or 4% cottage cheese, whatever you prefer!
Honey: We use our own honey, straight out of the beehives for us! As beekeepers, we have plenty of raw honey so I try to use it in all my recipes instead of sugar. I’d recommend trying a local farmers market to find the best raw honey in your area. Or else, raw organic honey is the next best thing.
Lemon Juice – gives this breakfast a little pop of acidity, it’s so delicious with the cinnamon too, such a great flavor combination.
Cinnamon: which gives this spread a subtle spice-y flavor! I love to add in a pinch for extra warmth.

Is There an Alternative to Honey?

Yes, you can substitute out the honey in this recipe for agave nectar or maple syrup. Agave has a similar texture and consistency to honey, while maple syrup is slightly runnier.
