Prep 15 min · Cook 20 min

Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a mixing bowl, combine the blotted cottage cheese, egg whites, flour, baking powder, and half the salt. Stir vigorously until a uniform, thick batter forms.
Coat two 8-ounce ramekins with cooking spray. Divide the batter evenly between the ramekins. Bake for 12 minutes until the edges are set and the centers are beginning to firm. Done when centers are beginning to firm.
Remove the ramekins from the oven. Use the back of a spoon to press a deep well into the center of each partially baked biscuit. Carefully crack the whole egg into each well and sprinkle with half the remaining salt. Return to the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Done when whites are set and yolks are soft.
While the biscuits finish baking, toss the avocado slices with the lemon juice and the rest of the salt. Once the eggs are set, top the biscuits with the seasoned avocado and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
