Key Ingredients:

• Toast: Any bread works here! Sourdough, whole grain, or gluten-free. Just be sure to choose something sturdy enough to hold the toppings.
• Butter: Just a little spread on the warm toast for extra flavor.
• Avocado: Mashed ripe avocado adds creaminess and healthy fats. Mash it smooth or leave it a little chunky.
• Cottage Cheese: Adds a cool, creamy contrast and a boost of protein.
• Tomato: Juicy and slightly acidic.
• Toppings: A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and fresh basil leaves to finish it all off.

Dietary Swaps:

• Gluten-Free: Use your favorite gluten-free bread. I really like the Schar's Deli-Style Gluten-Free Bread. It tastes very similar to sourdough and can be found at Walmart!
• Dairy-Free/Vegan: Swap cottage cheese and butter for dairy-free alternatives like almond-based cream cheese (Kite Hill is a good brand).
• Low Carb / Keto: Use keto-friendly bread (like low-carb cloud bread) to keep this recipe high fat and low carb.
• Low FODMAP: Use lactose-free cottage cheese (Good Culture makes one!) and gluten-free bread.

Recipe Variations:

• Mix Mashed Avocado and Cottage Cheese together (instead of layering them separately) for an extra creamy, protein-rich spread.
• Put an Egg on It: Top your toast with a runny fried egg.
• Spice it Up: Sprinkle red pepper flakes or drizzle some sriracha on top for heat.

How to Make Tomato & Avocado Toast with Cottage Cheese:

1. Toast the bread until golden and warm, then spread butter evenly on each slice.
2. Layer mashed avocado, cottage cheese, and tomato slices evenly over the toast.
3. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and fresh basil slices.
4. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips & Notes:

• Mash the avocado until smooth or leave it a little chunky.
• For easy layering, go toast, butter, mashed avocado, cottage cheese, followed by tomato and toppings.
• Toast bread before adding the layers.
• This tomato & avocado toast is best served fresh.
