Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado (slightly yielding to gentle pressure)
  • 1/2 cup smooth, small-curd cottage cheese
  • 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Toppings

  • Cherry tomatoes, sliced
  • Radishes, thinly sliced
  • Red chili flakes
  • Fresh herbs (basil, cilantro, dill)
  • Honey (for a sweet version)
  • Fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries)
  • Poached or fried egg (for protein boost)
  • Plant-based cottage cheese alternative (e.g., almond ricotta for vegan option)

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread: Toast your choice of whole grain or sourdough bread to your preferred level of crunch, ensuring a sturdy and crispy base that holds up well to the toppings.
  2. Prepare the avocado: Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Lightly mash with a fork, then add fresh lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Spread the cottage cheese: Spread a generous layer of smooth cottage cheese evenly onto each slice of toasted bread, creating a creamy foundation.
  4. Add the avocado: Top the cottage cheese layer with the mashed avocado, spreading it smoothly and evenly for a luscious finish.
  5. Garnish and serve: Enhance your toast by adding optional toppings such as sliced radishes, cherry tomatoes, fresh herbs, or chili flakes. Serve immediately to enjoy optimal freshness and texture.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture.
  • Toast bread thoroughly to prevent sogginess from moist toppings.
  • Season avocado and cottage cheese separately for balanced flavor.
  • Use fresh lemon juice to enhance flavor and prevent browning.
  • Customize toppings to suit sweet, savory, or spicy preferences.
