Cottage cheese toast with tomatoes
8 min · 32 g protein · 375 cals / serving
The five-minute toast everyone is making: crisp sourdough heaped with cold, creamy cottage cheese and juicy salted cherry tomatoes, a drizzle of good olive oil and balsamic, torn basil and a crunchy shower of everything seasoning.
Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cups grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 small pinch salt
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 medium slice sourdough bread
- 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp cottage cheese (1%), 1 %
To finish
- 1/2 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp everything bagel seasoning
- a few leaves fresh basil
- a grind black pepper
Steps
- Toss the tomatoes with the salt and balsamic and leave them for a few minutes while the bread toasts; the salt draws out their juice into a quick dressing.
- Toast the sourdough until deep golden and crisp, so it stays crunchy under the cottage cheese.
- Spread the cottage cheese thickly over the toast, spoon on the tomatoes and their juices, then drizzle with the olive oil and finish with everything seasoning, torn basil and black pepper. Eat straight away.
Good to know
Lumpy curds put you off?
Blend the cottage cheese for 30 seconds first and it spreads like ricotta. Either way, a cold cottage cheese against hot toast is the point.
Other toppings?
Sliced peaches and a crack of pepper in summer, cucumber and dill, or a jammy egg and chili crisp. Swap the toppings, keep the thick layer of cottage cheese.
