If you are like me and used to be skeptical of cottage cheese, this recipe will change your mind. The creamy texture pairs perfectly with the acidity of fresh tomatoes for a breakfast or lunch that keeps you full for hours.

I love using a high quality crusty bread for this to get that perfect crunch. A quick tip is to toast your bread until it is golden brown so it stays sturdy enough to hold all that delicious topping without getting soggy.

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of your favorite crusty bread
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 ripe tomato, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic glaze
  • A pinch of sea salt
  • A pinch of cracked black pepper
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Toast your bread slices until they are nice and golden.

  2. 2

    Spread a generous amount of cottage cheese over each slice of warm toast.

  3. 3

    Arrange the tomato slices on top of the cottage cheese.

  4. 4

    Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic glaze over the tomatoes.

  5. 5

    Finish by sprinkling with sea salt, pepper, and fresh basil leaves before serving.

💡 Tips

Serve this immediately while the toast is still warm and crispy. If you want to prep ahead, keep the cottage cheese and tomatoes separate until the very last second so the bread does not soften. You can also add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you enjoy a little bit of heat.
