I built this recipe to answer my own advice. If sourdough is the bread I recommend, what do I actually put on it?
The answer is this. A whipped tomato basil cream cheese, made with real ripe tomato, fresh basil, garlic, good olive oil, and a scoop (10 grams) of Yonder Flavorless Collagen Peptides folded in until it disappears completely. Spread it thick on warm, toasted sourdough, top it with a soft egg, and you've got real fat, real protein, and real fiber in one bite, which is exactly the combination that keeps your blood sugar steady instead of spiking and crashing.
Hi, I'm Sheri, Founder of Yonder & Certified Health Coach. This one lives in my regular kitchen rotation, especially on mornings when I want something that feels indulgent but is actually working in my favor.
I buy my bread every week from Daily Bread Co., a local bakery in San Clemente, California that makes real homemade sourdough from scratch.

Why this recipe works
Toasted sourdough alone is still a carbohydrate. Pairing it with real protein and healthy fats slows down digestion and helps keep your blood sugar on an even keel instead of spiking and crashing an hour later. That's the whole idea behind this recipe: real cream cheese for fat, fresh tomato and basil for flavor and fiber, an egg on top for a proper breakfast-worthy protein boost, and Yonder Flavorless Collagen Peptides folded into the spread for extra protein that you will not taste. Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body, and because Yonder's collagen is truly flavorless, it stirs into savory recipes like this one just as easily as it stirs into a morning coffee.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes. The whipped tomato basil collagen cream cheese keeps well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Toast the bread and cook the egg fresh each time you serve it.
Will I taste the collagen in this recipe?
No. Yonder Flavorless Collagen Peptides is flavorless and stirs into both sweet and savory recipes without changing the taste or texture, which is why it works just as well in a savory spread as it does in coffee.
Why toast the bread from frozen instead of fresh?
Slicing and freezing sourdough right after you bring it home, then toasting straight from frozen, is a simple habit I use every week. It keeps the bread from going stale before you finish the loaf, and toasting from frozen still gives you that deeply golden, crisp edge.
Can I use a different bread?
Sourdough is my recommendation because of how it's fermented, but this spread works on any good quality, whole-ingredient bread you enjoy.
Do I need to add the egg?
The egg is what turns this into a real breakfast, adding extra protein alongside the collagen in the spread. You can leave it off if you'd rather keep it simple, or swap in smoked salmon or prosciutto instead.
Is this recipe good for kids?
Yes, this is a family-friendly recipe. Serve the egg soft-scrambled or well-cooked for younger kids, and skip the fresh garlic if they prefer a milder flavor.
