Description
A quick, satisfying toast topped with creamy cottage cheese, ripe tomatoes, and fresh herbs, perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
- Sturdy bread (sourdough, whole-grain, rye, or country loaf, sliced 3/4-inch thick)
- Cottage cheese (regular or low-fat, small-curd or large-curd)
- Ripe slicing tomatoes (thinly sliced)
- Kosher or sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh herbs (basil, parsley, chives, or oregano, roughly chopped or torn)
Instructions
- Toast the bread until golden brown and crisp in a hot pan or toaster oven.
- If using large-curd cottage cheese, stir it briefly or press through a fine sieve for a smoother spread.
- Spoon a generous layer of cottage cheese over each toast slice.
- Lay tomato slices on top of the cottage cheese.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Scatter chopped fresh herbs over the toast.
- Serve immediately to maintain crispness.
Notes
Best eaten immediately. Store components separately if keeping leftovers. For a creamier spread, whisk cottage cheese or use part cream cheese.
