Ingredients
- 16 ounces 2% milkfat cottage cheese one whole container
- Private Selection Wide Pan Wheat Bread or preferred thick, sturdy bread
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup fresh or frozen berries I love frozen mixed berries (thawed)
- Balsamic glaze
- Honey, optional to taste
- Sliced almonds, optional for crunch and texture
Instructions
- Add entire 16-ounce container of cottage cheese to a high speed blender or food processor. Add honey or preferred sweetener, optional, to taste. Honey can also be drizzled on top and omitted here!
- Blend on high for 30–60 seconds, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed, until the texture is completely smooth and creamy - similar to Greek yogurt or ricotta. Add a splash of milk as needed if the blade gets stuck.
- Scrape the cottage cheese back into the container using a spatula.
- Add chia seeds to the container and stir.
- Allow to refrigerate for at least 6 hours. The cottage cheese will thicken into more of a cream cheese like consistency that is super easy to spread.
- Assemble when ready to eat: about 1/2-3/4 cup of cottage cheese on a large slice of toasted bread, evenly distributed berries, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Add honey or sliced almonds, if preferred. I love to top with thawed mixed berries (from frozen).
Notes
- Just enough chia seeds to make it a thick spread but not too much to where it feels gel-like or pudding-like, however, customize if you prefer! Top with flax or hemp hearts for more omega-3's and texture.
- Store in the cottage cheese container for 6-7 days in the fridge! Assemble your breakfast toast throughout the week for an easy, filling breakfast. Pick it up and eat it or use a fork and a plate.
- Increase the protein content by whisking or blending in one scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder.
