Cottage Cheese Toast with Tomatoes

Cottage cheese on toast is having a moment, and for good reason. It's essentially a high-protein canvas that works with sweet or savoury toppings. This savoury version with tomatoes and seasoning is ridiculously simple and properly filling.

Ingredients

• 2 slices wholemeal bread
• 150g cottage cheese
• 6 cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 tsp everything bagel seasoning (or sesame seeds and dried garlic)
• Drizzle of balsamic glaze
• Black pepper
• Small handful of fresh basil (optional)

Method

1. Toast the bread to your liking.
2. Spread the cottage cheese generously over both slices.
3. Top with halved cherry tomatoes.
4. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning and black pepper.
5. Finish with a light drizzle of balsamic glaze and fresh basil if using.

Nutrition Notes

150g cottage cheese provides around 18g protein for just 100 calories, making it one of the most efficient protein sources you can buy. Combined with wholemeal bread, this breakfast hits 30g protein at only 300 calories.
