Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices low-carb bread almond flour or cauliflower-based preferred
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese full-fat recommended for creaminess
  • 1 tsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for drizzling
  • optional fresh herbs or toppings dill, chives, radishes, smoked salmon

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Spatula
  • Small bowl
  • Knife
  • Spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat the skillet over medium heat until it feels warm to the touch, with a gentle sizzle when tested.
  2. Slice each piece of low-carb bread about 1cm thick and place them in the skillet. Toast for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy, listening for a gentle crunch and watching for a beautiful golden hue.
  3. While the bread toasts, scoop the cottage cheese into a small bowl. Add a squeeze of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Mix well with a spoon until the mixture is smooth and slightly tangy, releasing a fresh aroma.
  4. Once the toast is golden and crispy, remove it from the skillet and place on a plate. While still warm, spread a generous layer of the cottage cheese mixture onto each slice, allowing it to melt slightly into the surface and create a creamy contrast with the crisp edges.
  5. Drizzle each topped toast with a little olive oil for added shine and flavor. If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs, sliced radishes, or smoked salmon for extra flavor and visual appeal.
  6. Let the toast sit for a minute or two to allow the flavors to meld and the cheese to settle. Serve immediately while the edges are still crispy and the cheese is creamy.
