Notes
Nutrition: Nutrition info is based on 1 slice of sourdough toast with ¼ cup cottage cheese. Toppings are not included since they will vary.
Storage: The toast is best eaten right after making so the bread stays crisp.
Bread options: Use sourdough, sprouted grain, rye, seeded whole wheat, or your favorite gluten-free bread. Sturdy bread works best so it doesn’t get soggy.
Cottage cheese texture: If you prefer smooth cottage cheese, blend it in a food processor for 20–30 seconds until creamy.
