Ingredients
Scale
Toast and Spread
- 2 slices sourdough bread (2.5 oz / 50–60 grams each)
- 1–2 teaspoons salted butter
Toppings
- 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 isn’t salted)
Instructions
- Toast the sourdough. Begin by toasting the sourdough slices until golden and crispy to develop a sturdy base with a delightful crunch.
- Butter the toast. While the toast is still warm, spread 1 to 2 teaspoons of salted butter evenly across each slice to add richness and moisture.
- Add avocado slices. Layer each toast with about ¼ to ⅓ of the sliced avocado, distributing slices evenly to cover the buttered surface for creamy texture.
- Spoon cottage cheese. Dollop approximately 2 to 3 tablespoons (around 55 grams) of cottage cheese on each slice, spreading gently to blend with the avocado layer.
- Season with EBTB. Sprinkle half a teaspoon of Everything But The Bagel seasoning over each toast for a burst of flavors including sesame, garlic, and onion.
- Add fresh toppings. Top each toast with sliced cherry tomatoes and a tablespoon of chopped chives or green onions for freshness and color.
- Finish seasoning. Add another pinch of EBTB seasoning, extra chives, and cracked black pepper to taste. If your EBTB seasoning isn’t salted, lightly sprinkle with sea salt to enhance flavor.
Notes
- This avocado toast variation is enhanced by the creamy cottage cheese and the spicy, savory Everything But The Bagel seasoning for elevated flavor complexity.
- Use high-protein cottage cheese for added nutritional benefits.
- Adjust the amount of avocado and seasoning according to taste and dietary preferences.
- Adding chives or green onions adds a fresh, mild onion flavor and vibrant color.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.
