- Sea salt (natural), to taste
- Black pepper (natural), to taste
Toppings (Optional)
- 2 slices smoked turkey bacon
- 6 cherry tomatoes, halved
- Fresh herbs like cilantro or basil, chopped
- Red chili flakes (natural), a pinch

- Baby spinach leaves or arugula, a handful

- Date syrup (natural), drizzle
- Diced cherry tomatoes mixed with garlic and fresh parsley for salsa

Instructions
- Prepare the Avocado: Cut the ripe avocado in half, scoop the flesh into a bowl, and mash gently with a fork. Add fresh lemon juice (natural), a pinch of sea salt (natural), and black pepper (natural). Mix well to keep the avocado bright and flavorful.
- Toast the Bread: Toast the whole grain bread slices until golden brown and crisp to create a crunchy base that complements the soft toppings.
- Spread the Cottage Cheese (plant-based): Evenly spread a generous layer of creamy plant-based cottage cheese on the warm toasted bread. This provides a rich, smooth texture as the foundation.
- Add the Mashed Avocado: Layer the mashed avocado evenly over the cottage cheese, spreading gently for a luscious finish.
- Garnish and Serve: Top with your choice of smoked turkey bacon, cherry tomatoes, fresh herbs, and a sprinkle of red chili flakes (natural) for added flavor and color. Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
Notes
- Choose ripe avocados for a creamy texture and full flavor.
- Toast the bread well to prevent sogginess and add crunch.
- Use fresh herbs and freshly squeezed lemon juice (natural) for brightness.
- Spread cottage cheese (plant-based) first to keep the avocado neatly contained.
- Season generously with sea salt (natural) and black pepper (natural) to enhance all flavors.
