Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Toast
  • - 2 thick slices sourdough bread
  • - 1/2 cup full-fat small-curd cottage cheese
  • - 1 Roma tomato thinly sliced (or 8-10 cherry tomatoes, halved)
  • - 6 fresh basil leaves
  • - 1 tsp olive oil
  • - 1–2 tsp balsamic glaze
  • - Flaky salt and cracked black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Toast the sourdough slices until deep golden and crisp.
  2. While still hot, spread cottage cheese in a thick, even layer across each slice, all the way to the edges.
  3. Lay the tomato slices over the cottage cheese.
  4. Scatter the basil leaves over the top.
  5. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze.
  6. Finish with flaky salt and cracked black pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Storage: Best eaten fresh; does not hold well.
  • Swap: Avocado can be layered under the cottage cheese for extra creaminess. Swap balsamic glaze for a drizzle of hot honey for a sweet-heat version.
