Ingredients
Scale
Toast
- 2 slices sourdough bread (3 inches each, approximately 108 grams total)
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (14 grams)
- Flakey sea salt to taste
Toppings
- 1 medium heirloom tomato, sliced (120 grams)
- 1/2 cup whipped feta and cottage cheese (120 grams)
- 2 tbsp fresh sliced basil
Instructions
- Toast the bread: Melt the unsalted butter over medium heat in a skillet. Add the sourdough bread slices in a single layer, swirling the skillet to evenly coat the bread with butter. Toast the bread for 1-2 minutes on one side until it turns golden brown, then flip and toast the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden and crisp. Remove the toasted bread to two plates.
- Assemble the toast: Evenly spread the whipped feta and cottage cheese mixture onto each slice of toasted sourdough. Layer with the fresh sliced basil and then the heirloom tomato slices. Finish by sprinkling flakey sea salt to taste over the top.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy the toast while still fresh and warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Whipped feta and cottage cheese can be made by blending equal parts feta cheese and cottage cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Use ripe heirloom tomatoes for the best flavor and juiciness.
- Flakey sea salt enhances texture and balances the creaminess of the cheese.
- This recipe is best served immediately to keep toast crisp.
- Optional: add a drizzle of good quality olive oil or a sprinkle of cracked black pepper for extra flavor.
