Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (plant-based)
  • 4 slices whole grain bread
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (natural)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional Toppings

  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 4 strips smoked turkey bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro)

Variations

  • Crushed red pepper flakes or hot sauce (natural), for a spicy kick
  • Toasted nuts or seeds (sunflower or pumpkin seeds), for crunch
  • Thin slices of fresh figs or pomegranate seeds, for a fruity finish
  • Smoked turkey slices or marinated tofu cubes, as extra protein boost

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread: Place whole grain bread slices in a toaster or oven and toast until golden brown and crisp to create a sturdy, crunchy base for the toppings.
  2. Prepare the Avocado: While the bread toasts, scoop ripe avocado into a bowl and gently mash it with fresh lemon juice (natural) and a pinch of sea salt. The lemon juice brightens the flavor and helps prevent browning.
  3. Spread Avocado on Toast: Once toasted, spread a generous and even layer of the mashed avocado onto each slice of bread, forming a creamy base for the cottage cheese.
  4. Add the Cottage Cheese (plant-based): Spoon dollops of plant-based cottage cheese evenly over the avocado layer, ensuring every bite gets a balance of smooth and tangy flavors.
  5. Garnish and Season: Top the toast with freshly ground black pepper, chopped fresh herbs, and if desired, halved cherry tomatoes or cooked smoked turkey bacon strips. Finish with a light sprinkle of sea salt to enhance all the flavors.

Notes

  • Choose ripe avocados for the creamiest texture; they should yield slightly under gentle pressure.
  • Use fresh whole grain bread for the best toasting results and topping stability.
  • Keep the plant-based cottage cheese chilled for a refreshing contrast to the avocado.
  • If adding nuts or seeds, lightly toast them to bring out their nutty aroma and flavor.
  • Spread a thick layer of mashed avocado to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
  • Store leftover avocado mash in an airtight container with lemon juice to keep it fresh up to 24 hours.
  • Toast leftover bread again before serving to regain crispness.
