Cottage cheese avocado toast is the ultimate nutritious and delicious breakfast that comes together quickly. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a protein-packed, flavor-rich toast to kickstart your day!
The tradition of toasting bread began in ancient Rome. The word “toast” comes from the Latin tostare, which means “to scorch or burn.” Back then, Romans would hold bread over an open flame to extend its shelf life and add a satisfying crunch, a practice we still love today!

Ingredients
You need the following items to make this high-protein avocado toast:
- Bread - Any bread of your choice. I use sourdough bread as it is rich in nutrients and gut-friendly probiotics.
- Cottage cheese - If using Indian paneer (as used in this recipe), crumble it or cut it into small pieces. Alternatively, you can use a spreadable cottage cheese.
- Note: Indian paneer has more protein than typical cottage cheese spread!
- Avocado - Use a Hass avocado for the best texture. Wanted a twist on this simpler version? Try my Frankenstein avocado Nutella toast for an easy, everyday snack.
- Lemon juice - It enhances flavor, prevents browning, and makes the mixture easier to spread. For another creative use of this simple ingredient, try this lemon rice paste to make leftover rice flavorful.

How to make cottage cheese avocado toast?
You can find this easy paneer avocado toast recipe video below, but here is a quick overview of the procedure:
In a mixing bowl, mash the avocado using a masher. Add the cottage cheese, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, then mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined (pic below).
For the cottage cheese, I prefer crushing it by hand. Simply take a handful and gently squeeze the curds between your fingers, rubbing them together to break them down into a creamy texture.
Next, toast the bread and spread the filling evenly. Finish with a sprinkle of hemp seeds. A super healthicious avocado toast with cottage cheese is ready to serve!

FAQs
It’s best enjoyed fresh because avocado can brown quickly. If you want to prep ahead, mash the avocado with a little lemon juice and store it in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Toast the bread and assemble right before eating.
Whole-grain or sourdough bread gives the best flavor and holds toppings well, but you can use any bread you love!
You can, but the nutrition profile will change. Cream cheese is creamier and richer but lower in protein compared to cottage cheese.
Yes! Cottage cheese is high in protein and calcium, while avocado provides healthy fats and fiber. Together, they make a balanced and filling meal.
