Ingredients
Scale
Whipped Cottage Cheese
- 1 lb container cottage cheese, preferably whole milk or full fat
Tomato Basil Whipped Cottage Cheese Toasts
- 1 large or two small tomatoes, diced small
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
- Pinch of salt
- 2 slices sourdough bread, or bread of choice
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the whipped cottage cheese: Place the cottage cheese in a food processor fitted with an S blade. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes until the cheese is smooth, creamy, and free of lumps, creating a fluffy whipped texture.
- Make the tomato basil mixture: In a small bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped fresh basil, extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Toast the bread: Toast the slices of sourdough bread in a toaster until golden and crisp.
- Assemble the toasts: Spread a generous dollop of the whipped cottage cheese onto each toasted bread slice, smoothing it out to cover the surface.
- Add tomato basil topping: Spoon a few large spoonfuls of the tomato basil mixture evenly on top of the whipped cottage cheese on each toast.
- Season and serve: Finish by sprinkling freshly cracked black pepper over the toasts. Serve immediately to enjoy the combination of creamy, tangy, and fresh flavors.
Notes
- Use whole milk or full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture, but low-fat options can be used if desired.
- For extra flavor, let the tomato basil mixture sit for 10 minutes to meld before topping the toast.
- You can substitute sourdough with multigrain or rye bread based on preference.
- Optional: add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a different flavor profile.
- This recipe is best served fresh to keep the toast crisp and topping bright.
