Cottage Cheese Toast Ideas 

Cottage cheese is here to stay, and I’m more than grateful. I mean, who can refuse an extra dose of protein that pairs well with everything? Not this gal!

From banana pancakes to chicken sauce, I’m using cottage cheese in many recipes, so topping my toast with it for extra nutrition is a no-brainer. Here I share some of my favorite combos for you to try.

Making Cottage Cheese Toast

Follow these simple tips for pieces of toast that hold your toppings perfectly:

Use a firm slice of bread
Choose your favorite bread and make sure the slices are large and thick enough to hold the cottage cheese and toppings.

Drain any excess liquid
The tube may contain excess liquid, so try to drain it to scoop only the cottage cheese curds.

Layer order matters
Add cottage cheese as the base and then add the toppings, placing the larger ones first and the smaller ones on top.

Preventing Soggy Toast From Cottage Cheese

You know that liquid in the cottage cheese tub? Yeah, my toast hates it because it makes it soggy. To avoid this, I tilt my spoon and drain any excess liquid back into the tub as I try to scoop mostly cottage cheese curds.
