Ingredients
Scale
2 slices of your best bread for cottage cheese toast (sourdough or whole grain recommended)
1/2 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
Optional Savory Toppings: 1/4 avocado, Everything Bagel seasoning, black pepper, red pepper flakes
Optional Sweet Toppings: 1 teaspoon honey, dash of cinnamon, sliced fruit (like banana or berries)
Instructions
Toast your bread slices until they reach your preferred level of crispness.
While the bread toasts, prepare your cottage cheese. For a creamier texture, you can briefly blend the cottage cheese in a small food processor or use a fork to break up large curds.
Spread the prepared cottage cheese evenly over the warm toast slices.
Apply your chosen toppings immediately. For savory toast, mash the avocado lightly and spread it over the cottage cheese, then sprinkle with seasoning. For sweet toast, drizzle with honey and dust with cinnamon or arrange fruit slices.
Serve your high protein breakfast toast right away.
Notes
For an air fryer cottage cheese toast variation, place the bread in the air fryer basket, top with cottage cheese, and cook at 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is warm and slightly set.
Use thick-cut bread to support heavier toppings like avocado or eggs.
This recipe works well as a quick 5 minute breakfast or a protein packed snack.
