Five simple, high-protein toast variations using cottage cheese, covering sweet, savory, and air fryer methods for a fast breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices whole grain bread
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (low fat or full fat)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for savory)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced (for Savory 1)
  • 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning (for Savory 1)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (for Sweet 1)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (for Sweet 1)
  • 2 tablespoons marinara sauce (for Pizza)
  • 1 tablespoon shredded mozzarella cheese (for Pizza)
  • Pinch of dried oregano (for Pizza)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sriracha or hot sauce (for Savory 2)
  • 1/4 cup sliced banana (for Sweet 2)

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread slices to your preferred crispness. You can use a toaster, oven, or air fryer (375F for 3-4 minutes).
  2. While the bread toasts, prepare your cottage cheese base. For all recipes, spread 1/4 cup of cottage cheese evenly over each slice of toast.
  3. **Savory 1 (Avocado):** Top the cottage cheese with sliced avocado. Drizzle lightly with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and everything bagel seasoning.
  4. **Sweet 1 (Cinnamon Sugar):** Drizzle the cottage cheese with honey or maple syrup. Sprinkle evenly with cinnamon.
  5. **Savory 2 (Spicy):** Top the cottage cheese with a light drizzle of sriracha or your favorite hot sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. **Pizza Toast:** Spread marinara sauce over the cottage cheese. Top with mozzarella and a pinch of oregano. Broil briefly (1-2 minutes) until cheese melts.
  7. **Sweet 2 (Banana Nut):** Top the cottage cheese with sliced banana. Drizzle with a small amount of honey if desired.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For an air fryer method, place assembled toast directly in the basket and cook at 350F for 3 minutes, checking frequently to prevent burning.
  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for a creamier texture, or low-fat for fewer calories.
  • You can blend the cottage cheese briefly in a food processor for a smoother, ricotta-like spread before topping.
