Make It A Meal
This cottage cheese toast can certainly be a whole meal, but if you want to pair it with something, try it with fresh fruit, an aloe vera smoothie, or just a cup of tea or coffee. I also love just a slice of bread with some almond butter on it to go with this meal when I need a bit more protein.
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 cottage cheese.

I made these toasts for supper. We don’t have time for breakfasts and these toasts made a great evening meal.
This was one of the coolest toasts I’ve ever made. Love that its high protein too!! My husband and I will definitely make these more on the weekends for breakfast.
What an easy and tasty way to start the day! I loved using the cottage cheese here and combined with that runny yolk from the egg made it a winner of a breakfast. May even have to make this for lunch this week!
So good! Cottage cheese recipes seem to be everywhere lately so I had some in the fridge waiting to be used. We loved this dish – especially the everything bagel seasoning at the end. Great idea!
