Ingredients
Scale
Avocado Mixture
- ½ medium avocado
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Everything but the Bagel seasoning
Toppings
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for topping)
- Extra lemon juice (optional, for finishing)
- Extra Everything but the Bagel seasoning (optional, for finishing)
Bread
- 2 slices sourdough bread or your favorite bread
Instructions
- Prepare the Avocado Mixture: Mash the avocado half in a small bowl until creamy. Add the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Everything but the Bagel seasoning. Mix thoroughly to combine all flavors into a smooth, tangy spread.
- Toast the Bread: Toast your choice of bread slices until golden and slightly crisp. This adds texture and warmth to the toast base.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread the prepared avocado mixture evenly over each piece of toast, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor in every bite.
- Add Cottage Cheese: Spoon the cottage cheese on top of the avocado layer on each toast slice. Distribute it evenly to complement the creamy avocado.
- Finish with Toppings: Drizzle honey, hot honey, or balsamic glaze over the cottage cheese if desired for a touch of sweetness. Finish with an extra squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of Everything but the Bagel seasoning for an added zing and crunch.
Notes
- Mash the avocado first for a creamy texture and to avoid squishing the toast while spreading.
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the brightest, freshest flavor; bottled lemon juice tends to be less vibrant.
- Ensure your avocado is ripe for the best creamy consistency and flavor.
- Honey is optional but recommended for a subtle sweetness that balances the tangy and savory components.
- You can substitute sourdough with any bread of your choice, including gluten-free options.
