Description
Savory cottage cheese toast topped with hot honey and chili. This high-protein breakfast or snack is ready in 10 minutes. It offers a creamy, spicy, and perfectly balanced flavor profile.
Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- ¾ cup whole milk cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
- 1 small radish, thinly sliced
- ¼ teaspoon flaky sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey (for hot honey)
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (for hot honey)
- ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar (for hot honey)
Instructions
- Add the honey and red chili flakes to a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Warm gently for 1-2 minutes until small bubbles form around the edges, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the pan from heat. Stir in the apple cider vinegar. Let the mixture infuse for 5 minutes while you prepare the toast.
- Toast the sourdough slices in a toaster or toaster oven until golden brown and crispy on the edges, about 3-4 minutes.
- Brush each warm toast slice with olive oil while still hot to help it absorb flavor.
- Stir the cottage cheese in its container to create an even consistency. Spread a generous layer of cottage cheese on each toast slice, dividing it evenly.
- Arrange the sliced radishes evenly over the cottage cheese, then sprinkle with green onions.
- Drizzle the warm hot honey over each toast, adjusting the amount based on your heat preference.
- Finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt and black pepper on each toast. Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and crispy.
Notes
- Make a larger batch of hot honey and store it in a glass jar for up to 3 months.
- Choose cottage cheese with large curds for better texture.
- Toast the bread to a medium-dark shade to maintain crispiness after topping.
- Slice the radishes paper-thin for a delicate crunch.
- Let the hot honey cool slightly before drizzling for less intense heat.
- The assembled toast does not store well; eat immediately.
- If meal prepping, store components separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, then assemble before serving.
