If you love the flavor of a deli lox bagel but want something with a bit more nutrition, this toast is going to be your new go to meal. By swapping cream cheese for cottage cheese, you get a massive boost of protein that keeps you full for hours.

I love making this for a quick breakfast or a light lunch when I am short on time. It has a wonderful crunch from the toasted bread and a lovely saltiness from the capers and smoked salmon. Just make sure to use a good quality seeded bread to get those extra grams of fiber in.

Ingredients

  • 1 slice of sprouted grain or high fiber toast
  • 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese
  • 3 ounces smoked salmon
  • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced red onion
  • 1 teaspoon capers
  • 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Spread the cottage cheese evenly over the toasted bread.

  3. 3

    Layer the smoked salmon slices over the cottage cheese.

  4. 4

    Top with the red onion slices and sprinkle the capers on top.

  5. 5

    Finish by dusting the entire toast with the everything bagel seasoning and serve immediately.

💡 Tips

Try to eat this toast right after assembling it so the bread stays nice and crunchy. If you want to prep ahead, keep the salmon and veggies separate from the bread until you are ready to eat. You can also add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a bit of extra brightness.
