Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of high-protein bread (Sourdough, sprouted grain, or seeded whole wheat)
- 1/2 cup low-fat or 2% cottage cheese
- 1/2 avocado, sliced (optional for healthy fats)
- 1 tablespoon Everything Bagel seasoning
- A pinch of red pepper flakes
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish
- A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil or honey (depending on your flavor preference)
Instructions
- Begin by selecting your bread. For the best structural integrity and protein content, choose a thick-cut sourdough or a sprouted grain bread like Ezekiel. Place the slices in a toaster or under a broiler. Toast them until they are golden brown and firm enough to hold the weight of the toppings without sagging.
- While the bread toasts, prepare your cottage cheese. If you prefer a smoother texture similar to ricotta, you can quickly pulse the cottage cheese in a small blender for 15 seconds. If you enjoy the classic curd texture, leave it as is. Once the toast is ready, spread a generous layer (about 1/4 cup per slice) of the cottage cheese across the warm surface.
- Top the creamy cheese with your sliced avocado. Sprinkle the Everything Bagel seasoning and red pepper flakes evenly over the top. Garnish with fresh herbs and a light drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately while the bread is still warm and crispy for the best experience.
