There is nothing quite like a quick breakfast that actually keeps you full until lunch. This toast uses creamy cottage cheese as a base and tops it with garden fresh tomatoes and a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a meal that feels fancy but takes just minutes to put together.

My best tip is to toast your bread until it is nice and golden brown before adding the cheese. This prevents the bread from getting soggy so you get that perfect crunch in every single bite.

🧺 Ingredients

1 slice of your favorite sourdough or whole grain bread
1/3 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 teaspoon balsamic glaze
1 teaspoon fresh basil, chopped
A pinch of salt and black pepper

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Toast your slice of bread until it is golden brown and crisp.
2
Spread the cottage cheese evenly over the warm toast.
3
Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes on top of the cottage cheese.
4
Sprinkle with the fresh chopped basil and add a pinch of salt and pepper.
5
Finish by drizzling the balsamic glaze over the top and serve immediately.

💡 Tips

Store any leftover cottage cheese in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can also add a sprinkle of sunflower seeds or toasted pine nuts if you want a little extra crunch on top of your toast.
