Waking up to a plate of this tropical-inspired breakfast is like getting a surprise ticket to an island getaway. It’s not your ordinary slice of toast; this one brims with a harmony of textures and flavors. The heartiness of the sourdough bread, the creamy cottage cheese, the luscious mango, the nutty sesame seeds, and the subtle hint of coconut create a symphony of taste that dances on your palate.

But the love doesn’t stop at the taste. This toast is not just beautiful to look at, with its vibrant orange mango slices and sprinkled black sesame seeds – it’s also packed with nutritional benefits. Mango, known as the “king of fruits,” is a vitamin powerhouse. Combine that with protein-rich cottage cheese, fiber-loaded sourdough, and beneficial fats from coconut, and you have a meal that’s as nourishing as it is delightful.

Ingredients

• Sourdough Bread – You can’t make toast without bread, and sourdough is a fantastic choice.
• Cottage Cheese – Any kind of cottage cheese will work, and if you’re vegan, a plant-based cream cheese can work as an alternative.
• Mango – Look for a fresh mango that’s slightly soft to the touch.
• Shredded or Flaked Coconut – Unsweetened is best to keep the sugars low, but sweetened works if that’s all you have.
• Black Sesame Seeds: These provide a nutty flavor and a visually appealing contrast to the bright mango.

How To Make Cottage Cheese Toast with Mango & Coconut

1. Start by toasting your sourdough bread. This is best done in a toaster or under the grill until it reaches your preferred level of crispness.
2. Peel and slice the mango while the toast is toasting.
3. Spread a generous layer of cottage cheese onto the warm toast, then arrange your mango slices on top.
4. Sprinkle the sesame seeds and toasted coconut on top.

Chef Jenn’s Tips

• You can toast your coconut flakes in a dry pan over medium heat until they’re golden – just watch them closely; they can burn quickly!
• Don’t add the cottage cheese to the bread until you’re ready to eat because the bread will get soggy.
• This recipe is easy to double or triple to feed a crowd.

Make It A Meal

This vibrant toast pairs beautifully with various sides for a fuller breakfast spread. Pair your meal with a delicious smoothie, a side of scrambled eggs or just a bowl of fresh berries for even more fruity goodness.

Storage

Once assembled, your cottage cheese toast is best eaten fresh because the bread will get soggy. If you need to store the leftovers, wrap them separately and pop them into the fridge. Start with a fresh slice of toast to use up the leftover mango and cottage cheese.
