Avocado Toast with Cottage Cheese

Avocado toast with cottage cheese was a total game changer for me one morning when I had just come back from a run and I was craving something filling and refreshing at the same time and I looked into my fridge and saw ripe avocados and a tub of cottage cheese and I thought why not try them together on some crunchy toast and the result was so creamy and satisfying that I immediately knew this combo was going to become a regular breakfast favorite.

Ever since that day whenever I need a quick pick-me-up or a wholesome brunch idea I turn to this avocado toast with cottage cheese and juicy tomatoes and fresh chives and I love how it keeps me full without feeling heavy and it’s colorful and bright which always makes my mornings feel extra special and it’s one of those dishes that make me excited to get out of bed and head straight to the kitchen.

Ingredients

• Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always play around with toppings to make it your own!
• Bread slices – The sturdy base that toasts up golden and crispy.
• Avocado – Adds a buttery, creamy texture and healthy fats.
• Cottage cheese – Provides a mild, creamy protein boost and pairs perfectly with avocado.
• Cherry tomatoes – Bring a burst of juicy freshness and slight tang.
• Fresh chives – Add a light oniony flavor and a pop of color.
• Olive oil – Enhances the richness of the avocado and helps the toast crisp up if drizzled on top.
• Salt and pepper – Essential for balancing and elevating all the flavors.

Tools You’ll Need

• Toaster or oven – To get your bread perfectly crispy and warm.
• Sharp knife – To slice the avocado and tomatoes cleanly.
• Spoon – For scooping out the avocado easily.
• Small bowl – If you like to mash the avocado before spreading.
• Cutting board – For prepping all the fresh toppings neatly.

Instructions

Step 1

I start by toasting the bread slices until they’re golden and crispy because I find the crunch makes every bite so much better.

Step 2

While the bread is toasting, I cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Sometimes I mash it in a bowl with a bit of salt and pepper or I simply slice it if I want more texture.

Step 3

I spread the mashed or sliced avocado generously over each piece of warm toast.

Step 4

Next, I add a spoonful of cottage cheese on top of the avocado layer and I like to spread it gently so it stays thick and creamy.

Step 5

I slice the cherry tomatoes in halves and place them over the cottage cheese. I always try to layer them nicely so each bite has a little tomato burst.

Step 6

I sprinkle chopped fresh chives on top and then finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper to bring everything together.

Tips

If you want an extra flavor boost, I love adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a squeeze of lemon juice over the top. You can also try using multi-grain bread for added fiber and a nuttier taste. Sometimes I add a fried egg on top for more protein when I need a heartier meal.

Ways to Serve

I enjoy serving this avocado toast with cottage cheese on its own as a quick breakfast or lunch, but it also pairs nicely with a green salad or a bowl of soup for a more complete meal. It’s great for brunch gatherings or even as a light dinner when you want something easy and fresh.
