Creamy Cottage Cheese Toast

This cottage cheese toast transforms simple low-carb bread into a satisfying, protein-packed snack with a rich, creamy topping. The key method involves warming the cottage cheese just enough to soften and meld with the crispy toast, creating a delightful contrast in textures. The final appearance features a golden, crispy slice topped with a soft, slightly bubbly dollop of tangy cottage cheese, garnished with fresh herbs for brightness.

Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices low-carb bread preferably toasted until golden
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese full-fat for best creaminess
  • 1 tsp lemon juice brightens the flavor
  • 1/4 tsp salt to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 tsp olive oil for warming the bread
  • to taste fresh herbs chives or parsley, chopped

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Spatula
  • butter knife
  • plate

Method
 

  1. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat until warm, and toast the bread slices in the skillet or toaster until golden and crispy. This will give you a sturdy base with a satisfying crunch.
  2. While the bread is toasting, stir the cottage cheese in a small bowl with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly creamy. This brightens the flavor and makes it easier to spread.
  3. Once the bread is toasted, add a teaspoon of olive oil to the skillet and swirl to coat. Place the toast slices back in the pan if you used the skillet, and warm for about 1-2 minutes until the edges are crispy and the bread is heated through.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, then gently spoon generous dollops of the seasoned cottage cheese onto each slice of toast. Cover loosely with a lid or foil and let sit for about 1 minute to allow the cheese to soften and slightly melt.
  5. Check that the cottage cheese is soft and slightly bubbly, with a gentle melt into the toast. If needed, briefly cover again to encourage melting, but avoid overdoing it to keep the cheese intact.
  6. Remove the toast from the skillet, then sprinkle with freshly chopped herbs for a burst of color and freshness. Serve immediately while the cottage cheese is warm and creamy, contrasting beautifully with the crispy toast.
