Ingredients

Whole grain bread: Hearty enough to hold the weight of the ingredients as well as flavorful. But the type of bread is totally up to you!
Cottage cheese: I use low fat cottage cheese and it adds great flavor and texture, as well as being protein, calcium, and vitamins and minerals.
Avocado: Naturally rich in flavor and creamy in texture, it’s also a huge source of protein, fiber, and vitamin C.
Tomato: A bit sweet, juicy, and chalk full of vitamins.
Red onion: Mild enough to eat raw, but strong enough to add a zing of sharp flavor.

How to Make Avocado Toast with Cottage Cheese and Tomatoes

Start you Avocado Toast with Cottage Cheese and Tomatoes by slicing and toasting your whole grain bread. You could use white bread or whatever wheat bread you have on hand as well, but seedy, whole grain, crusty bread is my favorite!

Then cut your fresh avocado in half and slice into thin slices, and slice your fresh tomatoes.

Spread your cottage cheese evenly on each slice of toast.

Season each with a bit of salt and pepper, then layer with tomato slices.

Top the tomatoes with avocado slices.

And a pinch more of salt and pepper.

Finish your toast by thinly slicing red onion and adding to the top of your toast.

Enjoy your delicious breakfast of Avocado Toast with Cottage Cheese and Tomatoes.

Additions / Substitutions:

Up the protein. Cottage cheese is already high protein, but bacon strips would taste great, or use bacon bits to keep it a “no cook” meal.
Switch the cheese. If you’re not a fan of cottage cheese, spreadable cheese with chives would be a good substitute.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is avocado toast good for losing belly fat?

Because avocados are packed with monounsaturated fats (the good kind of fat), it actually helps you burn fat and keeps it from accumulating around your middle!

What is the difference between avodaco toast and guacamole toast?

It’s basically as it sounds, with avocado toast simply being smashed or sliced avocado, and guacamole toast using guacamole that usually includes other ingredients like lime juice, garlic, onion, and sometimes bits of tomato.

How do you keep cut avocado from turning brown?

Keep the pit! By keeping the pit with the avocado and putting it in an airtight container in the fridge, you can slow the browning. You can also sprinkle it with lime or lemon juice!
