Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 slice sourdough bread
- 1 tbsp butter
Spread & Toppings
- 2 tbsp Rao’s Marinara sauce, warmed
- 1/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese (Good Culture recommended)
- 1–2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 tsp sun-dried tomato oil
- 1–2 tsp hot honey
- Italian seasoning, to taste
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place 1 slice of sourdough bread in the skillet and toast it until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. This provides a crunchy base for the pizza toast.
- Assemble the Toast: Once toasted, spread the warmed Rao’s Marinara sauce evenly over the crispy sourdough slice. Then, add an even layer of 1/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese on top of the marinara, creating a creamy and protein-packed base layer.
- Add the Toppings: Drizzle another 2 tablespoons of warmed Rao’s Marinara sauce over the cottage cheese to enhance the tomato flavor. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of sun-dried tomatoes for a chewy, concentrated burst of flavor, and drizzle 1 teaspoon of sun-dried tomato oil over the top to enrich the taste profile.
- Season & Finish: Sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to your taste. Drizzle 1 to 2 teaspoons of hot honey over the assembled toast to add a sweet and spicy kick. Finish by topping with fresh basil leaves to add freshness and vibrant aroma. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute sourdough with any crusty bread of your choice.
- The recipe uses low-fat cottage cheese for a healthier option but full-fat cottage cheese works too for creamier texture.
- Adjust hot honey quantity based on your spice preference.
- Warm the marinara sauce before spreading for better flavor infusion.
- Add extra fresh basil or other herbs like oregano for more aromatic complexity.
