    Additions / Substitutions:

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    What bread works best with avocado toast?

    In my opinion, either a crusty or whole-grain bread works best.

    How does cottage cheese on avocado toast taste?

    Cottage cheese 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.

    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 juice!

    1. Hi Liz, your recipe is great!
      Can we repost them for our Instagram? We sell cottage cheese in Chile!
      @artisan.chile

      Thanks!

      1. Liz, thanks again for such wonderful ideas! I have ingredients to make that right here in my house and it looks so much more exciting than the toast with cream cheese I had a few hours ago. Really enjoy your website oh, you are very inspiring as I have mentioned before. Thank you.

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

    3. 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!!
