Ingredients

• 2 thick slices sourdough bread
• 4 tbsp cottage cheese
• 1 ripe avocado, mashed
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 tsp chili flakes
• 1 pinch flaky sea salt
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (parsley or chives)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup grated sharp cheddar

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat and brush each bread slice lightly with olive oil.
2. Toast the sourdough for 2‑3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
3. While the bread toasts, mash the avocado with lemon juice, salt, and half the minced garlic.
4. Spread cottage cheese evenly over each toasted slice, then layer the avocado mash on top.
5. Sprinkle remaining garlic, chili flakes, herbs, and grated cheddar over the avocado.
6. Return the assembled toasts to the skillet, cover, and cook 1‑2 minutes until the cheddar melts.
7. Remove, slice diagonally, and serve immediately while the cheese is still gooey.

Tips for Success

• Use a heavy cast‑iron skillet for even browning and a true crunch.
• Pat the avocado mash with a fork; avoid over‑mixing to keep some texture.
• Toast the bread first; adding cheese later prevents soggy bread.
• Cover the pan briefly to melt cheese without burning the toast.
• Adjust chili flakes to taste; a pinch adds subtle heat.
• Serve while hot; the cheddar firms up quickly as it cools.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to restore crispness; do not microwave, as the toast will become soggy.

Notes

Toast the bread first to keep it crisp, then melt the cheese briefly under a lid for a perfect gooey finish.
