Ingredients
  

  • 200 grams cottage cheese

  • 4 slices of whole-grain bread (about 200 grams)
  • 10 grams lemon juice (approximately half a lemon)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 10 grams olive oil
  • 5 grams red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)

  5.  Assemble the Toast. Spread an even layer of cottage cheese on each slice of toasted bread.
  6. Top the cottage cheese with the mashed avocado mixture.

Notes

Variations

  1. Tomato and Basil:
    • Top the avocado with sliced fresh tomatoes and sprinkle with fresh basil for a Caprese-inspired toast. Drizzle with balsamic glaze for added flavor.
  2. Spicy Sriracha:
    • Add a drizzle of Sriracha or your favorite hot sauce on top of the avocado for a spicy kick. You can also mix Sriracha into the cottage cheese for extra heat.
  3. Smoked Salmon:
    • Add slices of smoked salmon on top of the avocado for a luxurious touch. Garnish with capers and dill for a flavorful combination.
  4. Egg Topping:
    • Top the toast with a poached or fried egg for added protein. The runny yolk adds creaminess and richness to the dish.
  5. Feta Cheese:
    • Crumble feta cheese over the avocado for a tangy flavor that pairs well with the creaminess of the avocado and cottage cheese.
  6. Hummus Spread:
    • Spread a layer of hummus on the toast before adding the cottage cheese and avocado. This adds a different flavor profile and extra creaminess.
  7. Roasted Red Peppers:
    • Add roasted red pepper strips on top of the avocado for a sweet and smoky flavor. This adds color and a delicious taste.
  8. Herbed Cottage Cheese:
    • Mix fresh herbs (like dill, chives, or parsley) into the cottage cheese before spreading it on the toast for an extra burst of flavor.
  9. Sweet and Savory:
    • Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the avocado and sprinkle with crushed nuts (like walnuts or pecans) for a sweet and savory combination.
  10. Nut Butter:
    • Spread a thin layer of almond or peanut butter on the toast before adding cottage cheese and avocado for a unique flavor twist and added protein.
