🛒 Ingredients

  • 2 slices sourdough bread (45g each)
  • 2 sprays avocado oil spray
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese (2% milkfat)
  • 1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp raw honey
  • 1/2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 3/4 cup fresh mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
  • 1 tbsp roasted sliced almonds
  • 1 sprig fresh mint (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Cottage Cheese Base: In a small bowl, combine low-fat cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Stir gently until smooth and uniform (about 1 minute). Season lightly with pinch of sea salt.
2. Toast the Bread: Place sourdough slices on a toaster rack or oven tray. Set toaster to medium-high (level 5-6) or oven to 400°F (200°C). Toast for 3-4 minutes until golden brown but still slightly soft in the center.
3. Apply the Oil Spray: Remove toast from heat. While still warm, lightly spray both sides with avocado oil spray (approximately 1 spray per side). The heat will help distribute the oil evenly.

4. Season the Toast: Sprinkle warm toast with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper on one side (the side that will face up). This enhances the savory-sweet contrast.
5. Spread the Cottage Cheese Mixture: Working quickly while toast is still warm, spread the cottage cheese-yogurt mixture generously onto each slice using a rubber spatula or back of a spoon. Divide evenly between both slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
6. Layer the Berries: Top each toast with fresh mixed berries, distributing them evenly across the surface. Gently press them slightly into the cheese mixture so they adhere.
7. Drizzle with Honey and Maple: Warm honey and maple syrup together in a small bowl (15 seconds in microwave), then drizzle over berries in a light crosshatch pattern—approximately 1/2 tbsp honey and 1/4 tbsp maple per serving.
8. Garnish and Serve: Top each slice with roasted sliced almonds (1/2 tbsp per serving) and fresh mint leaf if using. Serve immediately while toast is still warm and crispy.
