  • Total Time: 8 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving (easily multiplied) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices thick-cut bread (sourdough, whole grain, or brioche)
  • ½ cup cottage cheese (full-fat recommended)
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon butter or olive oil (optional, for toasting)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional but recommended)

Optional Toppings (choose your favorites):

  • Fresh berries (½ cup)
  • Sliced banana
  • Crushed nuts (2 tablespoons)
  • Everything bagel seasoning (1 teaspoon)
  • Fresh herbs (basil or mint)
  • Cinnamon (pinch)
  • Chia seeds (1 teaspoon)
  • Dark chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cottage Cheese: If you prefer a smoother texture, add cottage cheese to a food processor or blender and pulse for 20-30 seconds until creamy and whipped. This step is optional but creates a ricotta-like consistency that spreads beautifully. If you enjoy the traditional texture, skip this step.
  2. Toast the Bread: Place bread slices in your toaster, toaster oven, or under the broiler. Toast until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. For extra richness, lightly butter the bread before toasting. The toast should be sturdy enough to hold toppings without getting soggy—aim for a deep golden color.
  3. Spread the Cottage Cheese: While toast is still warm, generously spread ¼ cup cottage cheese on each slice, spreading all the way to the edges. The warmth of the toast will slightly soften the cheese, creating a wonderful contrast between hot and cold temperatures.
  4. Drizzle with Honey: Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of honey over the cottage cheese in a zigzag pattern or concentric circles. Don’t be shy—the honey is essential for balancing the tangy cheese.
  5. Add Your Toppings: This is where you get creative! Add fresh berries, sliced fruit, crushed nuts, or savory seasonings. For a classic combination, try fresh strawberries with a sprinkle of sea salt. For a savory twist, use everything bagel seasoning and sliced cucumber.
  6. Finish and Serve: Add a final pinch of flaky sea salt if desired, which enhances both sweet and savory flavors. Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and crispy.

Notes

  • Texture Tip: Blending the cottage cheese creates a smoother spread that’s more appealing to those who dislike the curdy texture.
  • Prevent Sogginess: Eat immediately after assembling, or toast the bread extra-crispy if you need to wait a few minutes.
  • Protein Boost: Use full-fat cottage cheese for maximum protein (about 14g per ½ cup).
  • Make It Vegan: Substitute with blended silken tofu seasoned with nutritional yeast and lemon juice, use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Savory Version: Skip the honey and top with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, everything bagel seasoning, and fresh dill.
