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.
Frequently asked questions:

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!!

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 :-)
