A simple, fresh, and nutritious Tomato and Cottage Cheese Toast recipe featuring crispy toasted bread topped with creamy cottage cheese, juicy fresh tomatoes, and a drizzle of olive oil, perfect for a quick breakfast or light snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 2 slices of bread (sourdough, whole grain, or rustic bread)

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup fresh tomatoes (cherry, heirloom, or Roma), sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Garnishes

  • Fresh basil leaves or microgreens, for topping
  • Red pepper flakes, for extra heat

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread: Toast your choice of bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy to provide a sturdy base and a delightful crunch.
  2. Spread Cottage Cheese: Generously spread cottage cheese evenly over the warm toasted bread, ensuring every bite is creamy and rich.
  3. Add Sliced Tomatoes: Thinly slice your fresh tomatoes and arrange them neatly on top of the cottage cheese layer, distributing them evenly.
  4. Season and Drizzle: Drizzle olive oil over the tomatoes and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your preference.
  5. Add Garnishes: If desired, top the toast with fresh basil leaves, microgreens, or sprinkle with red pepper flakes to add color and an extra flavor dimension.
  6. Serve: Serve the toast immediately while the bread is still crisp and fresh for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use day-old or thick-cut bread for sturdier toasts that hold toppings better.
  • Cherry tomatoes add a sweeter flavor, while heirloom tomatoes offer more complex, rich tastes.
  • For a vegan variation, substitute cottage cheese with a plant-based cream cheese or tofu spread.
  • Adjust seasoning carefully as cottage cheese can contain some salt already.
  • Serve fresh; the toast is best enjoyed immediately to avoid sogginess.
