Avocado Cottage Cheese Toast | Tasty and High Protein

Q: What kind of cottage cheese should I use?

I recommend 1% or 2% cottage cheese for a creamy texture and richer flavour. If you like a smoother consistency, you can blend the cottage cheese before spreading it on the toast...SO good!

Q: Can I swap out the salmon?

Definitely! If you’re not a fan of salmon, you could try shredded chicken, turkey, or even a hard boiled egg (Shred it!) for another protein boost. For a vegetarian option, swap in chickpeas or an extra sprinkle of hemp seeds.

Q: What’s the best bread for this recipe?

I love using sourdough for its crisp edges and slightly tangy flavor, but you can also use whole grain, rye, or even a high-protein bread to match your needs or flavour preference.

This Tastier Avocado Cottage Cheese Toast is not only way yummier than your typical avo toast, but it is way higher in protein (19 grams!)! Dive into a flavour ride you won’t soon forget!

Why I love this Avocado Cottage Cheese Toast

This high-protein avocado toast packs 19 grams of protein—a huge upgrade from the typical 4 grams in plain avocado toast. That means more fuel to keep you full and energized! Learn more about how protein helps!
But the best part? The flavour. Regular avocado toast is fine, but this? Next level, friend! The creamy cottage cheese adds richness, the smoked salmon brings a savory, smoky bite, and the juicy cherry tomatoes add the perfect burst of freshness. Topped with bright cilantro and crunchy sprouts, every bite is fresh, satisfying, and anything but boring.
If you’re looking for a protein-packed, nutrient-dense, and insanely delicious way to start your day (or refuel after a workout), this Avocado Cottage Cheese Toast delivers.

Sprinkle that avocado toast with some protein-rich cottage cheese!

Now, we’re going to add your tomato!

Next, go ahead and put some of your salmon on. I like to use a delicious smoked canned salmon.

Finally, add sprouts (if using), cilantro, and bagel seasoning! Yummm!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I prep the ingredients ahead of time?

For the best texture and freshness, it’s best to assemble the toast just before eating. However, you can prep the toppings ahead! Store the avocado mashed with a little lemon juice to prevent browning, and keep the cottage cheese, salmon, and tomatoes ready to go in the fridge.
