Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices low-carb bread preferably toasted until golden
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese full-fat recommended for creaminess
  • 1 pinch salt to taste
  • 1 pinch black pepper freshly cracked, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice brightens the cottage cheese
  • optional fresh herbs (dill, chives) for garnish and extra flavor

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Spatula
  • Butter knife
  • Measuring spoon

Method
 

  1. Begin by toasting the slices of low-carb bread in a skillet over medium heat or in a toaster until they turn a deep golden brown and feel crispy to the touch.
  2. Meanwhile, stir the cottage cheese in a small bowl, mixing in a pinch of salt, black pepper, and a teaspoon of lemon juice to brighten the flavor and make it spreadable.
  3. Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of the seasoned cottage cheese evenly over each slice using a butter knife, creating a creamy, tangy base.
  4. Place the topped slices back into the skillet over low heat or briefly under the broiler for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, just until the cottage cheese warms and slightly melts, creating a tempting oozy texture.
  5. Remove the toast from heat and garnish with freshly chopped herbs if desired, adding a burst of color and flavor.
  6. Serve immediately while the cottage cheese is warm and the bread remains crispy for the perfect contrast in textures.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of smoked paprika before serving. This dish is versatile—feel free to experiment with different herbs or seasonings to suit your taste.
