Step 1: Toast the Sourdough Bread - Begin by toasting your slices of sourdough bread until they're golden brown and crispy. You can use a toaster or a pan with cooking spray for an extra crispy texture.
Step 2: Prepare the Cottage Cheese Mixture - In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of small curd cottage cheese and 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder. Mix well until the garlic powder is evenly distributed.
Step 3: Mash the Avocado - In another bowl, take your pitted avocado and mash it with a fork. Squeeze in the juice of 1/2 lemon or lime to prevent browning and add a zesty flavor to the avocado.
Step 4: Season the Mixtures - Season both the cottage cheese mixture and the mashed avocado with salt and pepper to taste. This will enhance the flavors and make your toast even more delicious.
Step 5: Assemble Your Toast - Spread the cottage cheese mixture generously over each slice of toasted sourdough. Top it with a layer of mashed avocado.
Step 6: Add Salsa and Garnishes - Spoon 1/4 cup of prepared salsa over the avocado. Feel free to get creative with garnishes—everything bagel seasoning, diced tomatoes, and fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro add an extra layer of flavor and color.
