Cottage Cheese Avocado Toast

Avocado toast with cottage cheese is packed with protein, fiber, and fats which will keep you full for hours. This toast recipe can be ready in under 5 minutes and is a great quick breakfast for busy mornings.

The cottage cheese paired with avocado and tomato reminds me of Caprese salad! Caprese salad is a classic summer side dish that’s healthy, easy, and delicious!

This recipe was inspired by my avocado toast with tomato recipe. I love pairing tomato and avoado together but adding cottage cheese is a total game changer!

Ingredients for Avocado Toast With Cottage Cheese

1 piece of toast

You can use whatever bread is your favorite. I prefer thin, whole grain bread but any type will work.

2 heaping tsp of cottage cheese

Small curd cottage cheese will spread the best on toast but you can use traditional cottage cheese as well.

1/2 sliced avocado

For this avocado toast recipe, we’re not going to mash the avocado because the cottage cheese is already spread on the bread. Instead, we’re going to slice the avocado.

1/2 tomato, sliced

I would recommend using a Roma or Beefsteak tomato because those are the two largest, sweetest, and juiciest tomatoes. They’ll add the most flavor to this toast recipe.

Salt and pepper, to taste

You can add salt and pepper to your avocado and cottage cheese toast whenever you’d like. I suggest adding salt and pepper to the cottage cheese or on top of the toast after it’s done.

Instructions

Step 1: Spread cottage cheese evenly on the toast.

Step 2: Add sliced avocado to the cottage cheese. Leaving space between slices.

Step 3: Top with sliced tomatoes, spreading them out on top of the toast.

Step 4: Add salt and pepper if desired.

Hint: It’s best to use an avocado that’s ripe, but not too ripe. In this avocado toast with cottage cheese recipe, you’re slicing the avocado instead of mashing it. You can be more lenient with the avocado ripeness when you’re mashing it, but when you’re slicing it, you need to make sure you have a good and ripe avocado.

What mixes well with cottage cheese?

Cottage cheese tastes great with more ingredients than you think. If you’re looking to spice this recipe up, you won’t have a shortage of options!

• Bacon – Cottage cheese mixes well with bacon but I also have an avocado toast with bacon recipe if you’d prefer to skip the cottage cheese!
• Mixed nuts – Chopped almonds, walnuts, pecans, and even sunflower seeds would taste amazing mixed in with the cottage cheese.
• Red onion – For extra flavor, feel free to add sliced red onion or even pickled red onions.
• Everything bagel seasoning – Is there anything that doesn’t go well with everything bagel seasoning? Seriously, it tastes yummy on almost everything!
• Arugula – Arugula on avocado toast is healthy and delicious but it’s also delicious mixed in with cottage cheese.

What cheese goes with avocado?

Some cheeses taste amazing with avocado, and some don’t. Mozzarella, cottage cheese, provolone, cream cheese, and other mild cheeses pair wonderfully with avocado. Cheeses that have a strong flavor don’t combine with avocado that well. Stick with mild cheeses for the best flavor.

Does cottage cheese have protein?

Yes! Cottage cheese is loaded with protein and has few calories which make it great for weight loss. Adding cottage cheese on avocado toast is a great way to ensure you’re getting a filling and balanced meal into your diet.

How do I save avocado toast for later?

Avocado toast is not something you can meal prep days ahead. You can store avocado toast in the fridge for up to 4 hours before it becomes unappetizing. To store it in the refrigerator, sprinkle some lemon juice on top of the avocado before placing it in an airtight container. The acidity will keep the avocado from going brown too fast.
