Scale
Bread Base
- 4 slices sourdough or whole grain bread, toasted
Creamy Layer
- 1 cup cottage cheese
Toppings
- 6 fresh figs, sliced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts (optional)
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast the bread slices until golden and crisp. You can use a toaster or a grill pan for extra flavor.
- Spread the Cottage Cheese: While the bread is still warm, generously spread a layer of cottage cheese over each slice, ensuring even coverage.
- Add the Figs: Arrange the sliced fresh figs evenly over the cottage cheese on each toast, slightly overlapping for a beautiful appearance.
- Drizzle and Garnish: Drizzle honey over the figs, then sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves across the toast. Add a pinch of sea salt for a touch of contrast.
- Top with Walnuts (Optional): If using, sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the top for crunch and extra flavor.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately while the toast is warm, the cheese is creamy, and the flavors are fresh.
Notes
- Swap figs for fresh berries or sliced pear when figs are out of season.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese for a thicker texture.
- Add a sprinkle of black pepper for dimension.
- Best enjoyed fresh for maximum crunch and flavor.
