Ingredients

• Cottage cheese – whipped smooth for creaminess and protein
• Avocado – ripe and buttery, either sliced or mashed
• Hot honey – sweet with a little fire (store-bought or homemade)
• Good bread – sourdough, multigrain, or anything with crunch
• Lemon juice – brightens the avocado
• Red pepper flakes + salt – for flavor and heat
• Olive oil (optional) – to brush your toast

How to Make Hot Honey Avocado Cottage Cheese Toast

1. Toast the Bread

Toast your slices of bread until golden and crisp. For an upgrade, brush with olive oil and pan-toast.

2. Blend or Whip Cottage Cheese

Use a blender or small food processor to whip cottage cheese until smooth. This gives it that dreamy, spreadable texture — like ricotta, but more tangy and packed with protein.

3. Prep Your Avocado

Slice or mash the avocado and toss it with a bit of lemon juice and salt. This keeps it bright, creamy, and flavorful.

4. Build Your Toast

Spread whipped cottage cheese over each toast, then layer with avocado. Drizzle with hot honey. Finish with red pepper flakes and flaky salt. If you’re feeling fancy, add a few fresh herbs or microgreens.

Pro Tips for Success

• Whip the cottage cheese for a smoother, spreadable base
• Use ripe avocados that give slightly when gently squeezed
• Make your own hot honey by warming honey with a pinch of chili flakes
• Balance flavors — lemon adds brightness to offset the richness
• Toast matters — sturdy, crusty bread holds up best

• Sweet twist: Top with strawberries or crushed pistachios
• Zesty: Use lime juice instead of lemon, and add chili-lime seasoning
• Crunchy: Sprinkle with toasted seeds like sesame or sunflower

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with iced coffee or herbal tea for a light meal
• Serve as part of a brunch spread with fruit and yogurt
• Cut into quarters for a beautiful brunch board addition
• Add a poached egg or turkey bacon for extra protein
• Serve hot honey avocado cottage cheese toast alongside soup or a salad for a cozy lunch

Make-Ahead & Storage

Make-Ahead: You can whip the cottage cheese and prep the hot honey ahead of time. Store both separately in the fridge (cottage cheese for 3 days; hot honey at room temp).

Storage: Best enjoyed fresh! Assembled toast doesn’t hold up well, but prepped ingredients keep beautifully.

Leftovers

Got extra whipped cottage cheese or hot honey? Use them in:

• Smoothies or grain bowls
• Spread on wraps or sandwiches
• Stirred into scrambled eggs
• Drizzled on roasted veggies or baked brie

Freezing

This one’s a no for the freezer — the avocado and cottage cheese texture won’t bounce back. But it’s fast enough to make fresh anytime.

Reheating

No need! Just toast fresh and layer your toppings. If needed, rewarm your honey for a few seconds to make it drizzle-ready.
