Cottage Cheese Avocado Toast
A creamy and satisfying toast combining mashed avocado and cottage cheese on whole-grain bread, perfect for a quick breakfast or light meal.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 slices whole-grain bread Choose a sturdy slice that toasts well; sourdough works too.
- 1 ripe avocado ripe avocado Ripe but not overripe — slightly soft to the touch.
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese Small curd tends to blend more smoothly; full-fat for creamier texture.
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper To taste.
Optional Toppings
- halved cherry tomatoes
- thinly sliced radishes
- microgreens
- red pepper flakes
- lemon zest
- smoked salmon
- extra-virgin olive oil For drizzling.
Instructions
Preparation
- Toast the whole-grain bread until it’s golden brown and crisp at the edges.
- Pit and scoop the avocado into a small bowl and mash roughly with a fork — leave it a bit chunky for texture.
- Stir in the cottage cheese until evenly combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Spread the avocado–cottage cheese mixture across each slice of toast in an even layer.
- Add your chosen toppings and serve immediately.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, swap cottage cheese for silken tofu or thick dairy-free yogurt. For a different protein, try ricotta or Greek yogurt. Use lemon juice to minimize avocado browning.
