Ingredients You’ll Need

- 2 slices sprouted grain or whole wheat bread
- 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon sliced almonds
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
Step-by-Step Directions

- Place the cottage cheese in a small blender or food processor and pulse until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the whipped cottage cheese evenly across the two slices of toast.

Best Ways to Enjoy It
Serve this warm toast with a hot cup of coffee. The contrast of warm bread and cool cheese is incredible.
It is a wonderful choice for a leisurely weekend brunch. You can even serve it as a light afternoon snack. Set the table, open the windows, and enjoy your morning.
Storage & Reheating
This toast is best enjoyed immediately after you assemble it. The bread stays perfectly crisp when eaten fresh. Leftovers can make the bread soggy quite quickly.
You can whip the cottage cheese a day early. Store it in an airtight container in your fridge. This makes your morning routine even faster during the week.
Tips for Best Results
- Whip the cottage cheese until it is completely smooth.
- Use fresh blueberries for the best texture and flavor.
- Do not skip the lemon zest for a bright pop.
- Toast your bread extra well to support the toppings.
- Choose a thick balsamic glaze rather than thin vinegar.
- Apply the toppings right before you plan to eat.
Ways to Switch It Up
- Swap blueberries for fresh sliced strawberries or raspberries.
- Use gluten-free bread to keep it allergy-friendly.
- Add a sprinkle of hemp seeds for extra healthy fats.
Common Questions
Can I use regular cottage cheese?
Yes, you can use regular cottage cheese. Whipping it just gives it a luxurious, creamy texture that feels like ricotta.
What if I don’t have balsamic glaze?
You can simmer balsamic vinegar until it thickens. Or, just use a little extra honey for sweetness.
I hope this bright breakfast brings a little joy to your morning. It is the perfect way to fuel your body and feel great. Enjoy every bite!
