There is nothing quite like a fast meal that actually keeps you full until lunch. I love using cottage cheese here because it is creamy and mild, which makes it the perfect base for fresh garden flavors.

My favorite trick for this recipe is to use the best quality tomatoes you can find. If you have some balsamic glaze in the pantry, a little drizzle over the top makes it taste just like a fancy cafe snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 slice of your favorite sourdough or whole grain bread
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
  • 5 fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic glaze
  • A pinch of salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Toast your slice of bread until it is golden brown and crisp.

  2. 2

    Spread a thick layer of cottage cheese evenly over the toasted bread.

  3. 3

    Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes on top of the cheese.

  4. 4

    Scatter the torn basil leaves over the tomatoes.

  5. 5

    Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic glaze over the toast.

  6. 6

    Finish with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

💡 Tips

Store any leftover cottage cheese in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. If you want a crunchier texture, try adding a few toasted pine nuts on top before you serve it.
