Ingredients You’ll Need

This Creamy Cottage Cheese Avocado Toast Recipe is built on simple, fresh ingredients that balance each other beautifully. When shopping, look for ripe avocados and good-quality sourdough for the best texture and flavor.

• Avocado: Make sure it’s ripe – it should yield slightly when pressed gently but not be mushy.
• Cottage Cheese: I prefer small curd cottage cheese for its creaminess, but use your favorite style.
• Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice elevates the flavor, don’t skip freshness here.
• Everything but the Bagel Seasoning: This seasoning blend adds a savory crunch and is a game changer on avocado toast.
• Dijon Mustard: A little tang to brighten the avocado mix – it’s subtle but makes a difference.
• Honey (optional): I like a light drizzle for a touch of sweetness that balances the savory.
• Sourdough Bread: Thick slices work best here for sturdy toast that holds all the toppings perfectly.

Variations

One of the things I love most about this Creamy Cottage Cheese Avocado Toast Recipe is how easy it is to tweak to your liking. Play around with flavors and add-ons to find your perfect combo.

• Add some heat: I like to drizzle on hot honey or sprinkle chili flakes when I want a spicy-sweet kick.
• Swap the bread: Whole grain, rye, or gluten-free bread works great if you want to mix things up or need a dietary alternative.
• Extra greens: Try topping with arugula or thinly sliced radish for a fresh crunch and color.
• Protein boost: Add a soft-boiled egg or smoked salmon for a heartier meal.

How to Make Creamy Cottage Cheese Avocado Toast Recipe

Step 1: Mash the avocado with the flavorings

Start by scooping the avocado into a small bowl. Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and the Everything but the Bagel seasoning. Give it a good mash and mix until everything is combined and smooth but still has a little texture. I discovered this trick because mashing right on the toast can squish your bread, so do this step in the bowl first for a creamy spread that’s easier to work with.

Step 2: Toast Your Bread

Toast your bread slices to your preferred crispness. I love slightly golden sourdough because the tanginess of the bread complements the creamy toppings perfectly. Make sure your toast is sturdy enough to hold the toppings without getting soggy.

Step 3: Assemble the Toast

Spread the avocado mixture evenly over your toast slices. Next, spoon a generous layer of cottage cheese on top of the avocado. Don’t be shy! If you love creamy textures, this is the part that will make you swoon.

Step 4: Add Your Finishing Touches

Drizzle a little honey, hot honey, or a balsamic glaze over the cottage cheese—this step is my secret for balancing savory with a touch of sweetness. Finish with an extra squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle more of the Everything but the Bagel seasoning. This layering of flavors is what makes this toast so uniquely delicious.

How to Serve Creamy Cottage Cheese Avocado Toast Recipe

Garnishes

I love topping this toast with a few extras like thinly sliced radishes for crunch, fresh microgreens for a peppery bite, or even a sprinkle of sesame seeds if I’m feeling fancy. These garnishes not only add texture but brighten the presentation.

Side Dishes

This toast pairs wonderfully with a fresh fruit salad or a cup of hot tea for breakfast. If you want something heartier, a side of scrambled eggs or roasted sweet potatoes rounds out the meal nicely.

Creative Ways to Present

For a brunch party, I once laid out a toast bar with bowls of cottage cheese, avocado mix, various toppings, and breads, letting guests build their own. It’s a fun way to customize and makes for a great visual spread. You can also cut the toast into smaller squares for bite-sized appetizers.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you find yourself with leftovers (which can be rare because usually it gets eaten instantly!), store the avocado mixture and cottage cheese separately in airtight containers in the fridge to keep them fresh. Toast is best enjoyed fresh, so I don’t recommend storing assembled toast.

Freezing

Freezing isn’t ideal for this recipe because avocado and toast lose their great texture after freezing. It’s best to enjoy this toast fresh for the creamiest and most flavorful experience.

Reheating

If you do prepare the avocado mixture ahead, just give it a stir and spread onto freshly toasted bread right before serving. Avoid reheating the cottage cheese; it’s best cold or at room temperature to keep its creamy texture.
