Instructions
Step 1: Toast the Bread
Toast your bread slices until golden and crisp.
Set aside while you prep the toppings.
Step 2: Mash the Avocado
Scoop the avocado into a bowl and mash with a fork until smooth or slightly chunky, depending on your texture preference.
Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and lemon or lime juice if using.
Step 3: Add the Cottage Cheese
Spread about ¼ cup of cottage cheese onto each slice of toast.
You can keep it slightly chunky or whip it in a blender for a smoother, creamier texture.
Step 4: Top with Avocado
Layer the mashed avocado over the cottage cheese.
Spread evenly and add a little more salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5: Add Optional Toppings
Top with your favorite extras: sliced veggies, herbs, seasoning blends, or a drizzle of olive oil or honey for a sweet-savory combo.
Step 6: Serve Immediately
Serve while the toast is still crisp and the toppings are fresh.
Cut into halves or quarters for easy snacking or sharing.
Notes
Use Ripe Avocados – Soft, bright green, and easy to mash.
Go Full-Fat – Full-fat cottage cheese adds creaminess and more flavor.
Choose Sturdy Bread – Hearty bread holds the toppings without getting soggy.
Season Generously – Don’t skimp on salt, pepper, or lemon—it lifts all the flavors.
Make It Pretty – Bright toppings like radish and herbs make it extra appetizing.
