Ingredients
Scale
For the Toast
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese (small curd preferred)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Red pepper flakes, optional, for garnish
- Lemon juice, 1 teaspoon
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast the two slices of whole grain bread to your preferred crispiness using a toaster or oven. This forms a sturdy base and adds a crunchy texture to the dish.
- Prepare the Avocado: Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add a teaspoon of lemon juice to prevent browning and mash gently, leaving some small chunks for texture.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of cottage cheese over the toasted bread slices, ensuring even coverage. Next, top the cottage cheese with the mashed avocado, spreading it evenly.
- Season: Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over the avocado-covered toast. Add red pepper flakes if you enjoy a bit of heat. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro for added color and flavor.
- Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy, fresh flavors at their best. Pair with a cup of tea or fresh juice for a balanced breakfast or snack.
Notes
- Use fresh ripe avocados that yield slightly when pressed for best flavor and texture.
- You can substitute cottage cheese with ricotta or Greek yogurt for a different consistency.
- For added protein, top with a poached or fried egg.
- Whole grain or sourdough bread works best for toasting; avoid overly thick slices for better balance.
- Adjust seasonings according to taste preferences.
