High-Protein Cottage Cheese Toast - 4 Ways
Cottage Cheese Toast is one of my go-to meals for the days I don’t feel like cooking but still want something filling, flavorful, and nourishing.
Each toast starts with a generous layer of cottage cheese, which adds creaminess and a solid protein boost, then gets topped with simple ingredients that create big flavor with minimal effort. From a crispy egg with chili crisp, to fresh everything-bagel veggies, to sweet-savory hot honey, to a cozy pizza-inspired version, these toasts cover every mood while coming together in about 5 minutes.
They’re easy to customize, require very little prep, and deliver a satisfying balance of protein, fiber, and healthy fats—making them perfect for a quick lunch, light dinner, or anytime meal when time and energy are low but you still want to eat well.
