Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread, toasted
- ½ cup (120g) small-curd cottage cheese
- 1 medium ripe tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon everything seasoning
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil or chives, chopped (optional)
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Toast the bread slices in a toaster or under the broiler until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
- While the bread toasts, thinly slice the tomato and lay the slices flat on a plate. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let sit for about 3 minutes.
- Scoop the cottage cheese into a small bowl. Stir in the olive oil and a pinch of black pepper. Optionally, mix in chopped fresh herbs.
- Spread the seasoned cottage cheese evenly over each toasted bread slice.
- Arrange the tomato slices on top of the cottage cheese, overlapping slightly.
- Sprinkle everything seasoning generously over the tomatoes and cheese.
- Scatter chopped fresh basil or chives over the top.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
If tomatoes are watery, blot them with a paper towel before placing on toast to prevent sogginess. Letting everything seasoning sit on the toast for a minute enhances flavor. Use small-curd cottage cheese for creamier texture. Optional herbs add freshness but can be omitted.
