  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese (4% milkfat recommended)
  • Pinch of salt and black pepper
  • For Savory Topping 1 (Avocado): 1/4 avocado, sliced, Everything Bagel seasoning
  • For Savory Topping 2 (Egg & Spice): 1 hard-boiled egg, sliced, 1 tsp Sriracha

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread slices until golden brown and crisp. You can use a toaster, oven, or air fryer for this step.
  2. While the bread toasts, prepare your desired toppings.
  3. Spread 1/4 cup of cottage cheese evenly over each slice of hot toast. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Apply your chosen topping combination immediately:
  5. For Savory 1: Top with sliced avocado and sprinkle with Everything Bagel seasoning.
  6. For Savory 2: Top with sliced hard-boiled egg and drizzle with Sriracha.

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, blend the cottage cheese briefly in a food processor before spreading.
  • Use sturdy whole grain or sourdough bread; thin white bread may become soggy.
  • If using an air fryer, toast the bread at 375°F for 3-5 minutes until crisp.
  • For a low-calorie snack, use low-fat cottage cheese.
