Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado (creamy and soft)
  • 1/2 cup 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

  • Chili flakes
  • Fresh herbs (basil, cilantro, parsley, dill, chives)
  • Seeds or nuts (pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, toasted nuts)
  • Honey (for a drizzle)
  • Fresh tomato slices
  • Everything bagel seasoning
  • Hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread: Toast your choice of whole grain or sourdough bread until golden and crisp. This provides a crunchy base that balances the creamy toppings.
  2. Mash the Avocado: In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to preserve its vibrant color and add a refreshing tang.
  3. Season the Cottage Cheese: Mix the small curd cottage cheese with a pinch of salt and black pepper to enhance its natural tanginess.
  4. Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread, then dollop the seasoned cottage cheese on top and spread lightly.
  5. Add Your Favorite Toppings: Finish with optional garnishes or seasonings such as fresh herbs, chili flakes, seeds, or a drizzle of honey, according to your preference to add extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh, slightly soft avocados for the best creamy texture.
  • Don’t overload the bread to avoid sogginess and keep the toast crisp.
  • Use lemon juice liberally to maintain avocado color and add brightness.
  • Choose quality artisan or whole grain bread for enhanced flavor and texture.
  • Experiment with seasonings such as everything bagel seasoning for unique flavor.
  • Store mashed avocado and cottage cheese separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 1-2 days if you have leftovers.
  • Freezing the assembled toast is not recommended as it can ruin texture.
  • Reheat the toast base alone in a toaster or oven; add fresh toppings just before serving.
