Ingredients
  

For the Toast:
  • 2 slices sourdough bread
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (small curd)
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 small avocado (pitted)
  • 1/2 lemon or lime (to keep avocado from browning)
  • 1/4 cup salsa (prepared)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Cooking spray (optional for toasting)
  • Garnishes Everything Bagel Seasoning, salsa, diced tomatoes, diced parsley, or cilantro

Equipment

  • Toaster
  • Skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Spoon

Method
 

Directions:
  1. Start by toasting your slices of sourdough bread. You can use a toaster or a skillet. If you prefer a crispy finish, lightly spray your skillet with cooking spray before placing the bread in it. Toast until golden brown on both sides.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cup of cottage cheese with 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder. Stir well to ensure the garlic is evenly distributed throughout the cottage cheese. This will infuse your toast with a delightful flavor.
  3. While the bread is toasting, take your small avocado and cut it in half. Remove the pit and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado to your desired consistency. Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon or lime to prevent browning and enhance the flavor.
  4. Once your bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of the garlic-infused cottage cheese on top of each slice. Next, add a layer of the mashed avocado. Don’t be shy; pile it on for an extra creamy texture!
  5. Spoon a quarter cup of prepared salsa over the avocado layer. This adds a lovely kick and freshness to your toast.
  6. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. For an extra flavor boost, garnish with Everything Bagel Seasoning, diced tomatoes, or fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.

Notes

  • For added protein, try adding a poached egg on top.
  • Experiment with different toppings like pico de gallo or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
  • Store cottage cheese in the fridge for easy meal prep.
