Ingredients
Scale
For the Toast
- 2 slices sourdough bread (2.5 oz / 50–60 grams each)
- 1–2 teaspoons salted butter
Toppings
- ½–⅔ large avocado (sliced, about ¼ per toast)
- 4 oz cottage cheese (about 110 grams, high-protein preferred)
- 2 teaspoons Everything But The Bagel seasoning (EBTB)
- 8 cherry tomatoes (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives or green onions
- Cracked black pepper
- Optional: sea salt (if EBTB seasoning isn’t salted)
Instructions
- Toast the bread: Toast the sourdough slices until golden and crisp. While still hot, spread 1 to 2 teaspoons of salted butter evenly over each slice to allow it to melt in for rich flavor.
- Prepare the avocado: Slice the avocado and distribute about one-quarter to one-third over each slice of buttered toast in even layers to ensure creamy texture in every bite.
- Add cottage cheese: Spoon approximately 2 to 3 tablespoons (around 55 grams or 2 ounces) of high-protein cottage cheese onto each toast, spreading it evenly but gently without mashing the avocado.
- Season and add toppings: Sprinkle about half a teaspoon of Everything But The Bagel seasoning on each slice. Then add a generous sprinkle of chopped chives and the sliced cherry tomatoes on top to add freshness and a pop of color.
- Final touches: Finish with an additional pinch of EBTB seasoning, extra chives for garnish, cracked black pepper to taste, and if your seasoning blend lacks salt, a small pinch of sea salt to enhance all the flavors.
Notes
- This recipe is a delicious upgrade on classic avocado toast with added protein and texture from cottage cheese.
- Use high-protein cottage cheese for the best flavor and nutritional profile.
- Everything But The Bagel seasoning adds a wonderful savory crunch; adjust amount to taste.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor as the toast will soften over time.
