Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large slices bread (about 100 g total), sourdough, multigrain, or seeded, about ½ inch thick
  • 1 1/8 cups cottage cheese (250 g), about 1 cup plus 2 tbsp
  • 1 avocado (about 200 g), medium, ripe but firm
  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil (5 ml)
  • 2 tsp balsamic glaze (10 ml), or to taste
  • kosher salt to taste
  • black pepper freshly ground, to taste
Optional
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds or mixed seeds
  • 1 pinch chili flakes

Method
 

  1. Lightly drizzle the bread with extra virgin olive oil. Toast in a frying pan over medium heat until golden brown and crisp, 1–2 minutes per side.

  9. Serve immediately while the toast is still crisp.

Notes

  • Use a sturdy bread (sourdough, seeded, or multigrain) so the toast holds up under the creamy toppings.
  • Pick an avocado that is ripe but still firm enough to slice neatly.
  • For a smoother spread, blend the cottage cheese before using.
  • Best served immediately; assemble just before eating.
