Hanaa's recipe tips
- Choose a thick-sliced bread like sourdough, rye, or whole grain. It holds the toppings better and doesn't get soggy.
- Assemble just before eating
- Some cottage cheese brands can be runny. If needed, give it a quick stir or blot with a paper towel to avoid soggy toast and toast the bread more than you would.
- To make this super easy, wash and chop toppings like spinach, herbs, or tomatoes in advance. You can even pre-sauté spinach or boil eggs ahead of time and save time on meal prep.
Frequently asked questions
This meal prep cottage cheese toast will work if you prep the toppings beforehand, such as washing the vegetables, boiling the eggs, cooking the spinach ...etc. I would not recommend laying the topping before as it will cause soggy toast.
You can choose to use whipped cottage cheese if you don't like the texture of the curds.
