Ingredients
- 1 slice whole grain bread
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Fresh fruit for topping
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 slice of whole grain bread, 1/2 cup of cottage cheese, 1 tablespoon of honey, and your choice of fresh fruit for topping.
- Toast the slice of whole grain bread to your desired level of crispiness. You can use a toaster or a toaster oven for this step.
- While the bread is toasting, measure out 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and place it in a small bowl.
- Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the toaster and place it on a plate.
- Spread the cottage cheese evenly over the toasted bread, ensuring that the entire surface is covered.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over the cottage cheese, allowing it to create a sweet layer on top.
- Finally, top your cottage cheese and honey toast with fresh fruit of your choice. This could be sliced strawberries, blueberries, banana slices, or any seasonal fruit you prefer.
- Enjoy your healthy and delicious cottage cheese and toast immediately while the bread is still warm!
Tips
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Opt for whole grain bread with minimal processing and full-fat cottage cheese for maximum nutrition.
- Toast perfection: Don't over-toast your bread. Aim for a golden-brown color that's crispy but not burnt.
- Temperature matters: Serve immediately after preparing to enjoy the warm toast and cool, creamy cottage cheese contrast.
- Get creative with toppings: While the recipe suggests fresh fruit, you can experiment with nuts, seeds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor.
- Meal prep hack: You can prepare the cottage cheese and honey topping in advance and quickly assemble when ready to eat.
- Customize your protein: If you prefer, you can use Greek yogurt as an alternative to cottage cheese for similar protein benefits.
