Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices whole grain bread (best bread for cottage cheese toast)
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese (4% milkfat recommended)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: Everything Bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Toast the bread slices until golden brown and crisp.
- While the bread toasts, place the cottage cheese in a small bowl. Add the black pepper and salt. Stir briefly to combine the seasoning with the cheese.
- Spread the seasoned cottage cheese evenly over both slices of warm toast.
- For a savory option, sprinkle with Everything Bagel seasoning.
- Serve immediately as a quick protein snack or easy cottage cheese breakfast.
Notes
- For a sweeter version, skip the pepper and salt. Instead, top with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon (cottage cheese cinnamon toast).
- For cottage cheese avocado toast, mash half an avocado and spread it over the toast before adding the cottage cheese.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, briefly blend the cottage cheese in a food processor before spreading.
