Description
A delightful and easy-to-make toast featuring creamy cottage cheese and savory smoked salmon, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices whole-grain or artisan bread
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 4 oz smoked salmon, sliced
- 1/2 lemon, juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill or chives, chopped
- 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced (optional)
- Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Toast: Start by toasting your slices of whole-grain or artisan bread until they reach your desired level of crispiness—this usually takes about 3-5 minutes in a toaster or on a grill.
- Assemble the Toast: Once your bread is toasted, spread the cottage cheese evenly over each slice. Next, layer on the smoked salmon, and then sprinkle the capers and chopped dill or chives. If you want to add some crunch, lay some thin cucumber slices on top. Finish it off with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a dash of freshly cracked black pepper.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Experiment with different types of bread to suit your preferences.
