Ready in 5 minutes, this satisfying no-cook Avocado toast breakfast is packed with protein, fiber and healthy fats – perfect for busy mornings or an easy lunch.
No lie: I probably eat this once or twice a week. I love spreading it on bread with a sprinkle of sea salt and cilantro sprigs or in a simple avocado egg sandwich.
To make this a fast and easy recipe, I decided to incorporate cottage cheese which wouldn’t require turning on the stove or oven.
What bread works best with avocado toast?
Either a crusty or whole-grain bread works best.
Additions / Substitutions:
Adding cottage cheese to avocado toast not only adds great flavor and texture but it turns a snack into a complete meal by adding protein, calcium, and 7 other vitamins and nutrients. Other options to add to avocado toast beyond tomato would be to have thin slices of red onion. That would make this taste more amazing than it already is. Bacon strips are also an option as well.
If you’re not a fan of cottage cheese spreadable cheese with chives would be a good substitute.

YUM!!!! Excellent recipe. I put very thin sliced red onion on it and for me, it made it OUT OF THIS WORLD!
Liz DellaCroce
Great idea!!!

Sounds delightful! I would drizzle with flax oil for an added antioxidant boost. Plus cottage cheese and flax combined fight cancer.

I can always count on any of your Pinterest post to be totally fantastic. And this one surely is. We get real tired of the so called “normal” breakfast items. I also have used spreadable cheese with chives when cottage cheese is not in the fridge. Love your blog!!
Liz DellaCroce
Thank you so so much!

I needed a easy thing to make and eat for our stay at a cabin and I did not think cottage cheese and bread/toast would be good but this is outstanding!!! I love it. I will have to wait till summer for fresh tomatoes, but the avocado and cottage cheese was good enough. I also only like Michigan brand cottage cheese. I can’t stop eating it now! Thanks so much!!
Liz DellaCroce
I’m so glad you enjoyed these!! One of my favorites!!

I decided to make this for my sister and niece and it was a huge hit! It is now our need lunch fast meal. I use fat free cottage cheese and put cucumber slices out in case someone wants a change from the avocado.

I love anything with avocados in it. Now you add bread to it and in my book you have a super winner. What a great snack, light lunch or dinner :-)

I pretty much have to go with no-cook breakfasts or I tend to go without altogether. I don’t give myself any time in the morning for cooking breakfast. I love the sound of this – healthy and filling but so flavorful!
Liz DellaCroce
It’s funny, aside from a fried egg I really have been all about no cook breakfasts myself!!

Why have I never thought of the idea to pair avocado with toast? So simple! And I love your idea to add in the cottage cheese and tomatoes. I’ve got tomatoes from my in-laws garden that I’m just itching to use. This is perfect. :)

Oh yes girl avocado and toast has endless opportunities!!! Enjoy your tomatoes – I am loving tomato season this year!!
