Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 slice sourdough bread
  • 1/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese (such as Good Culture)
  • 2 tbsp Rao’s Marinara sauce, warmed
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 12 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 tsp sun-dried tomato oil
  • 12 tsp hot honey
  • Italian seasoning, to taste
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place 1 slice of sourdough bread in the skillet and toast until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  2. Assemble the Toast: Remove the toasted bread from the skillet. Spread 2 tablespoons of warmed Rao’s marinara sauce evenly over the toast. Then, add an even layer of 1/4 cup cottage cheese on top of the sauce.
  3. Add the Toppings: Drizzle an additional 2 tablespoons of warmed Rao’s marinara over the cottage cheese layer. Scatter 1-2 tablespoons of sun-dried tomatoes evenly over the toast, then drizzle 1 teaspoon of sun-dried tomato oil to enhance flavor.
  4. Season & Finish: Sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste over the assembled toast. Drizzle 1-2 teaspoons of hot honey on top for a spicy-sweet contrast. Finally, garnish with fresh basil leaves to add freshness and aroma before serving.

Notes

  • Use low-fat cottage cheese for a lighter version.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey depending on your preferred spice-sweet balance.
  • Warming the marinara sauce enhances the flavors and helps layer it smoothly.
  • Sun-dried tomato oil adds extra depth but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Serve immediately for best texture, as the toast can become soggy if left to sit.
