Ingredients
1 thick slice artisan bread (sourdough, country loaf, or whole grain)
1/2 cup full-fat cottage cheese (4%)
1–2 tbsp hot honey
Flaky sea salt
Optional:
Chili flakes or chili crisp
Fresh herbs (chives, basil, or mint)
1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil (to whip cottage cheese)
Instructions
1. Toast the bread until deeply golden and crisp.
2. Spread the cottage cheese immediately, edge to edge (toast should still be warm).
3. Drizzle hot honey slowly over the top so it melts into the cheese.
4. Finish with flaky sea salt and, if you want, a pinch of chili flakes or herbs.
5. Eat right away while the toast is still crisp.
Notes
Best eaten immediately—this one doesn’t “hold” well.
Let cottage cheese sit out 10–15 minutes for better flavor and texture.
If it tastes flat, add salt before adding more honey.
For a smoother spread, blend cottage cheese 30–45 seconds (add 1 tsp olive oil if needed).
