8 Cottage Cheese Toast Recipes You’ll Love

Cottage Cheese Egg White Toast

Imagine a perfectly toasted slice of bread smothered in creamy, tangy cottage cheese, avocado spread, and topped with fluffy egg whites that have been cooked to perfection.

The egg whites add volume, keeping you fuller for longer. Drizzle with your favorite aioli or sauce.

Some of my favorite sauces to use with cottage cheese egg white toast is cashew pesto, roasted red pepper sauce, and avocado cream sauce.

Sweet Potato Cottage Cheese Toast with Avocado

Instead of using bread for the toast, I roasted sweet potato slices and covered them with creamy cottage cheese and chunks of avocado!

Top with your favorite seasonings for the best flavor. I love chili lime seasoning or “everything but the elote” seasoning the best!

Cottage Cheese Toast with Smoked Salmon

Talk about protein packed! When you add smoked salmon to the mix, this cottage cheese toast checks all the boxes!

Toast the bread, spread a layer of avocado, top with greens, cottage cheese, smoked salmon, and Everything Bagel seasoning.

Cottage Cheese on Toast with Eggs

This is a breakfast fave! Once you toast the bread, add the cottage cheese, and top with a fried egg.

You can season with salt and pepper or add a more garlicky taste by using Everything Bagel seasoning.

I am using dave’s killer bread in this post. It’s one of my favorites!

Scrambled Eggs with Cottage Cheese on Toast

I love this version for brunch or a snack. I usually add a few dashes of hot sauce or sriracha to kick the heat up a little bit.

It goes great with sliced peppers or other raw veggies.

Scrambled Eggs cooked in Cottage Cheese on Toast

While you are cooking the eggs, add a serving of cottage cheese and a handful of spinach. Once it’s done, pile it on your toasted bread with a layer of avocado for a healthy and delicious breakfast.

It’s crazy how a big handful or two of spinach shrivels into a tiny tablespoon-size!

Cottage Cheese Toasted Sandwich

Instead of open-faced toast, go with a full sandwich!

Add your favorite lunch meat, greens, peppers, tomatoes, and a little mustard mixed in with the cottage cheese.

Cottage Cheese Pizza Toast

No avocado on this one! Instead, we are using marinara or pizza sauce for the base, a handful of fresh baby spinach, then spreading cottage cheese.

I love to call these “adult pizza Lunchables” 🙂
