Sweet Potato Toasts Are a Thing for Breakfast

When I first learned about sweet potato toast, I had one of those “where have you been all my life?” moments. Combine its slightly sweet flavor with the mild tang of cottage cheese on top, and boy, oh boy, breakfast couldn’t taste any better!

Unlike baked sweet potatoes, which I have to plan ahead for, these cook quickly in the toaster. Adding cottage cheese gives me the extra protein I want in the morning, turning a few slices of sweet potato into a filling breakfast.

What You Need

Sweet potatoes and cottage cheese are everything you need for this recipe. I like to add fresh berries on top.

How to Make Sweet Potato Toast with Cottage Cheese

Slice the sweet potato.
Cut it lengthwise into ¼-inch-thick slices. Keeping them an even thickness helps them cook at the same rate.
Toast until tender.
Place the slices in a toaster or toaster oven and cook until lightly browned and fork-tender in the center. Depending on your toaster, you may need more than one cycle.
Add the toppings.
Spread cottage cheese over the warm sweet potato slices and top with fresh berries.

Laura’s Tips

What kind of sweet potato works best for toast?

Choose a thick, round sweet potato that’s easy to cut into wide slices. Slice it lengthwise about ¼ inch thick so the pieces hold their shape but cook quickly. You’ll get approximately four slices per sweet potato, depending on its size.

What else can I put on sweet potato toast?

Besides cottage cheese and berries, I like sliced fruit, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey. For a savory version, try mashed avocado and a fried egg. You can also make my peanut butter and jelly sweet potato toast.

Why is my sweet potato toast still hard in the middle?

Sweet potato slices take longer to cook than bread. If they’re browned on the outside but still firm in the center, toast them for another cycle until a fork slides through easily. Keeping the slices around ¼ inch thick helps them cook evenly.
