Ingredients
Scale
Toast Base
- 2 slices sourdough bread (2.5 oz / 50–60 grams each)
- 1–2 teaspoons salted butter
Topping
- ½–⅔ large avocado (sliced, about ¼ per toast)
- 4 oz cottage cheese (about 110 grams, high-protein preferred)
- 2 teaspoons Everything But The Bagel (EBTB) seasoning
- 8 cherry tomatoes (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives or green onions
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
- Optional: sea salt (if EBTB seasoning isn’t salted)
Instructions
- Toast the bread: Toast the slices of sourdough bread until golden and crisp. While still hot, spread 1 to 2 teaspoons of salted butter evenly over each slice to melt into the warm bread.
- Add avocado slices: Slice half to two-thirds of a large avocado and evenly distribute about a quarter per toast, placing the slices in an even layer over the buttered toast.
- Apply cottage cheese: Spoon approximately 2 to 3 tablespoons (around 55 grams or 2 ounces) of high-protein cottage cheese onto each slice on top of the avocado.
- Season and garnish: Sprinkle each toast with about half a teaspoon of Everything But The Bagel seasoning, then evenly scatter chopped chives and sliced cherry tomatoes on top.
- Finish with toppings: Add another pinch of Everything But The Bagel seasoning, extra chopped chives, cracked black pepper, and if needed, a small pinch of sea salt for extra flavor balance.
Notes
- This version of avocado toast is elevated with the addition of creamy cottage cheese and the flavorful Everything But The Bagel seasoning.
- Make sure to use ripe avocados for the best texture and taste.
- High-protein cottage cheese adds a nice nutritional boost and creaminess without overpowering the other flavors.
- You can substitute green onions in place of chives if preferred.
- If your Everything But The Bagel seasoning is not salted, add a pinch of sea salt at the end to enhance the flavor.
