Ingredients
Scale
1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or 2%)
1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
Pinch of salt
2 slices bread (sourdough or whole grain recommended)
Toppings: Fresh berries, honey, everything bagel seasoning, or sliced avocado
Instructions
Place the cottage cheese, lemon juice (if using), and salt into a food processor or a high-speed blender.
Process the mixture continuously for 1 to 3 minutes. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
Continue blending until the cottage cheese transforms into a completely smooth, airy, and creamy spread, similar in texture to ricotta or cream cheese.
Toast your bread slices to your preferred level of crispness.
Spread the whipped cottage cheese generously over the warm toast.
Add your desired toppings immediately. Serve this quick breakfast toast right away.
Notes
For the fluffiest result, use a food processor rather than an immersion blender.
If you do not have a food processor, you can use a hand mixer, but it will take longer to achieve the smooth texture.
This creamy cottage cheese topping works well as a low-calorie substitute for cream cheese on bagels.
For a savory toast recipe, top with smoked salmon and fresh dill.
