Toast
- 2 slices rustic whole wheat bread
Toppings
- 120 grams cottage cheese
- 1 fresh fig, sliced
- 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Fresh herbs, to garnish (optional)
- Toast Bread: Lightly toast the rustic whole wheat bread slices until they are golden and crisp. This adds a nice texture and helps prevent the toppings from making the bread soggy.
- Assemble Toast: Spread the cottage cheese evenly over each slice of toasted bread, creating a creamy base for the toppings.
- Add Figs and Walnuts: Arrange the sliced fresh figs on top of the cottage cheese, then sprinkle with the chopped walnuts to add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle honey over the prepared toast for a touch of sweetness, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the full contrast of flavors and textures.
Notes
- Use ripe, fresh figs for the best sweetness and texture.
- Walnuts can be lightly toasted for extra flavor if preferred.
- Fresh herbs like mint or thyme add an aromatic touch but are optional.
- This toast is best enjoyed fresh to prevent sogginess.
- For a vegan version, substitute cottage cheese with vegan cream cheese and honey with maple syrup.
