Equipment

  • Food Processor or Blender
  • Air fryer or toaster oven (You can also just use your conventional oven)
  • 1 sheet of foil (about the size of a plate)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp milk of choice or water
  • 2 slices of bread of choice for toast I use 1 ciabatta roll, sliced in half

Toppings

  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar divided into halves
  • 1 tsp cinnamon divided into halves

Instructions
 

  • In your food processor or blender, add cottage cheese, brown sugar, and milk. Blend until smooth.
  • Spread cottage cheese mixture over two slices of bread, ensuring to meet each corner and edge for maximum coverage of the bread and highest protein intake. You can use a lot of your spread or a little, depending on your preference. I use about 1.5 Tbsp on each slice of bread.
  • Sprinkle topping over each slice of bread. Place bread on a sheet of foil and toast in air fryer/toaster oven/oven at 350 degrees for 7 minutes or until edges of cottage cheese mix are toasted and melted onto bread.
  • Remove from air fryer/oven and let cool slightly for 1-2 minutes (this is so you don't burn your mouth on your first bite!). Once cooled slightly, enjoy!

Notes

  • You can also top with fresh fruit, granola, or any additional toppings of choice!
  • I promise you that this doesn't taste like cottage cheese at all, and will get you anywhere between 1-2 servings of protein, depending on how much you spread onto your bread!
  • Any extra cottage cheese spread can be kept in your refrigerator in a sealed container for 2-3 days. It's best fresh, or the day after - try not to let it sit for too long before using.
