If you haven’t tried cottage cheese toast yet, this is the one to start with. Crispy sourdough, creamy cottage cheese, buttery avocado, and a sweet-heat drizzle of honey and chili oil — it tastes like something from a fancy café but takes 10 minutes and uses ingredients you probably already have. I grab the big tub of cottage cheese at Costco, so this has been on repeat at my house.
Why You'll Love This Recipe
- High protein, no cooking — about 16g of protein from the cottage cheese alone, and the only “cooking” is toasting bread.
- Sweet, spicy, creamy, crunchy — if you’re tired of bland breakfasts this will definitely liven up your taste buds.
- Ready in 10 minutes — perfect for busy mornings or a quick lunch.
Ingredients
- 1 slice sourdough bread
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 avocado, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1 tsp chili oil (more or less depending on preference)
- 2 tsp honey
Instructions
- Drizzle the olive oil over both sides of the sourdough. Toast in a pan over medium heat (or in a toaster) until golden and crisp.
- Layer the sliced avocado over the toast, then spoon the cottage cheese on top.
- Finish with a drizzle of chili oil and honey. Serve right away.
Tips & Variations
- Blend the cottage cheese for 30 seconds if you prefer a smooth, ricotta-like spread instead of curds.
- No avocado? A fried or jammy egg on top is just as good.
- Adjust the heat: chili crisp (with the crunchy bits) gives the best texture; start with 1/2 tsp if you’re spice-shy.
- Use thick sourdough so the toast stays crisp under the toppings.
FAQ
Is cottage cheese toast healthy?
Yes — cottage cheese is high in protein and lower in fat than most spreads, and paired with avocado and sourdough you get a balanced mix of protein, healthy fats, and carbs that actually keeps you full.
Can I make cottage cheese toast ahead of time?
Toast doesn’t keep well once topped — it gets soggy. Assemble right before eating; it only takes a couple of minutes.
