Ingredients

  • 2 slices sourdough bread
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup baby arugula
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 pound crimini mushrooms, cleaned and quartered
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Crushed red pepper flakes, for garnish

Step 1: Prepare the Garlic

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the oil is hot, add minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until it turns light golden-brown, which should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

After cooking, transfer the garlic to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Mushrooms

In the same skillet, add the mushrooms and cook them, stirring occasionally, until they are golden-brown, which will take about 6 to 8 minutes.

At this stage, stir in fresh thyme and season with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring the mushrooms are well-coated with the seasoning.

Step 3: Prepare the Cottage Cheese Mixture

While the mushrooms are cooking, take a medium bowl and whisk together cottage cheese, salt, and pepper until they are fully combined.

This will create a creamy spread that complements the mushrooms beautifully.

Step 4: Assemble the Toast

Spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly over each slice of toasted bread.

Once the mixture is spread, top each slice with the sautéed mushrooms, a handful of arugula, and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for added flavor and a bit of heat.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Serve the assembled toasts immediately while they’re warm and fresh.

Enjoy this delicious and savory dish as an appetizer, snack, or light meal!
