How To Make Cottage Cheese Toast 4 Ways

• First, you'll get the base of the toast ready. I picked sourdough for my toasts, only because it's my favorite kind of bread, but you can use any bread that you would like. Toast your bread to your "toastiness" preference, but a little more than less will hold all the toppings better.
• Spread about ¼ cup of cottage cheese per toast, more or less depending on the size of the slice of bread. Season the cottage cheese with a little black pepper and salt for the savory toasts.

Tips And FAQs

• Can I use any kinda of bread to make cottage cheese toast? Yes absolutely, you can use any bread that you'd like, including gluten free options. Sourdough and artisanal breads are my personal favorite choice because they're sturdy and hold the toppings really well.
• What kind of cottage cheese should I use? This is totally up to you, if you prefer small curds or larger curds, you decide. I used small curds, low-fat (2%) cottage cheese from Good Culture. There isn't any dairy-free cottage cheese, but you can find lactose-free if you're sensitive to lactose.
• Get creative with your toasts, or tartines as we call them in French! You can really have fun with a variety of different toppings, bringing fun flavors and textures. From fresh fruits like peaches, raspberries, bananas, seeds, nuts, fresh herbs, spices, even eggs or bacon for a savory toasts. The possibilities are truly endless.
• The toasts are going to be best eaten right after assembling, if they sit for too long they could become a little soggy, which is why I like to get the bread nice and toasty before spreading the cottage cheese.
