11 min · 23 g protein · 282 cals / serving
Sweet, salty and a little spicy: crisp toasted sprouted-grain bread under a thick layer of cold whipped cottage cheese, juicy ripe peach slices, a thin drizzle of hot honey, crushed pistachios, a few chilli flakes and fresh thyme. Tastes like summer and takes five minutes.
Ingredients
Whipped cottage cheese
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp cottage cheese (1%), low-fat
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tiny pinch salt
- 2 slices sprouted grain bread
- 3 ripe yellow peaches, sliced
- 1 scant tsp hot honey
- 2 tsp pistachios, roughly chopped
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- a few sprigs fresh thyme, leaves picked
- a grind black pepper
Steps
- Blend the cottage cheese with the lemon zest and salt in a mini chopper or with a stick blender for about a minute, until silky and spreadable like whipped ricotta.
- Toast the bread until deeply golden and crisp at the edges.
- Spread each toast with a thick layer of the whipped cottage cheese, right to the crusts, and spoon the rest alongside. Fan the peach slices over it, letting the extra tumble onto the plate beside the toast, then drizzle with the hot honey and scatter over the pistachios, chilli flakes, thyme and a grind of pepper. Eat straight away with a knife and fork.
Good to know
No hot honey?
Warm 1 tsp of regular honey with a pinch of chilli flakes for 10 seconds in the microwave. It is the same idea in thirty seconds, and about the same score.
Out of peach season?
Thawed frozen peach slices, ripe nectarines, fresh figs or sliced strawberries all work. Canned peaches in juice, drained and patted dry, are fine in winter.
Can I skip blending the cottage cheese?
Yes, it is still good with curds. Whipping it makes it taste richer and creamier and stops it sliding off the toast.
