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.
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.

How does cottage cheese on avocado toast taste?

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!!
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 am eating this as I type and it is delicious! I added some cheddar to it and I am in love. I’m surethis will be a common thing for me now.
Oh yummy :) this is my kind of sandwich!! I love this combination!
Thanks sista!! Me too. :)
What a perfect snack, Liz! I need more healthy snacking options – I’ve been munching on some heavy stuff lately!
Thanks chica!! Wish we were snacking on truffle fries together! xo
I love simple recipes that only take a few minutes to make. Perfect when you’re late in the morning ;) Plus there’s avocado so it’s a total winner in my book!
Avocado is always a good thing!! :) BTW Love your blog name!
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 know right?? There’s nothing better than bread and avocado in my book!!
Oh, I like this. It’s fresh, it’s light, it’s healthy. And I love avocados! Thanks for sharing. I will make this and enjoy it.
I hope you enjoy it Norma!
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!
It’s funny, aside from a fried egg I really have been all about no cook breakfasts myself!!
This sandwich is literally all of my favorite foods piled into one recipe… plus, it’s a sandwich. And I love me a sandwich. :) YUMS!
hahah I love the “plus it’s a sandwich.” :) So true!
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!!
This looks so delicious. I love avocados too but I’ve never thought of pairing them with cottage cheese. Brilliant! Thank you for sharing!

Egg, avocado, bacon? How could I say no?!?! Liz – everything you do is just so beautiful (and BONUS: Delicious to boot!). Keep the glamour shots coming!
You’re so sweet – thank you so much for your kind words Roxi!
I am in love with this combo Liz! I am a cottage cheese fanatic. And an avocado one. And a tomato one. And well carbs, they’re my spirit animal. What a perfect way to start the day!
