Ingredients
Scale
Avocado Mixture
- ½ medium avocado
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed recommended)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Everything but the Bagel seasoning
Toppings
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for topping)
Bread
- 2 slices sourdough bread or your favorite bread
Instructions
- Mash the avocado: In a small bowl, mash the half avocado until smooth but still slightly chunky. Add fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Everything but the Bagel seasoning into the mashed avocado and mix well to combine all flavors.
- Toast the bread: Toast your chosen bread slices to your preferred level of crispness, either using a toaster or toaster oven.
- Assemble the toast: Spread the avocado mixture evenly on each slice of toasted bread, covering the surface thoroughly without tearing the bread.
- Add cottage cheese: Top each avocado-covered toast with ¼ cup of cottage cheese, spreading it gently to create a creamy layer.
- Finish with toppings: Drizzle honey, hot honey, or balsamic glaze over the cottage cheese for a sweet contrast. Finish by adding an extra squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of Everything but the Bagel seasoning on top for a burst of flavor.
Notes
- For a creamy texture, mash the avocado thoroughly before spreading it on the toast to avoid squishing the bread.
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best, freshest taste instead of bottled lemon juice.
- Choose a ripe avocado that yields slightly to pressure for optimal flavor and texture.
- You can swap sourdough bread for any sturdy bread of your choice that can hold the toppings well.
- Honey is optional; feel free to omit it or substitute with a favorite drizzle like hot honey or balsamic glaze.
