Ingredients
- 1 pinch black pepper (freshly ground for bolder flavor)
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- 1 cup cottage cheese (I like Daisy brand, for its creamy texture)
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved for best presentation)
- 2 tbsp fresh basil (thinly sliced, also known as chiffonade)
Step 1: Prepare and Roast the Tomatoes
Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and arrange them on the baking sheet.
Drizzle with ½ tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt to coat.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the tomatoes for 30 minutes, or until they are blistered, shrunken, but still juicy.
Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool.
Step 2: Prepare the Cottage Cheese Spread
While the tomatoes are roasting, take the cottage cheese and add it to a food processor.
Puree until a creamy, smooth spread forms.
Season the spread with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Once seasoned, set the cottage cheese mixture aside in the refrigerator to keep it cool.
Step 3: Prepare the Toast
As the roasted tomatoes are cooling, toast the slices of sourdough bread in a toaster or in the oven until they are golden brown.
Ensure the bread is crispy and ready for the toppings.
Step 4: Assemble the Toast
To assemble your delicious toast, begin by spreading half of the prepared cottage cheese mixture on top of each slice of toasted bread.
Next, top each toast with the cooled, roasted tomatoes.
If you have fresh basil, add it on top for an extra burst of flavor.
Finally, drizzle the remaining olive oil over the assembled toast and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Your roasted tomato and creamy cottage cheese toast is now ready to be enjoyed!
Serve immediately as a delightful and nutritious snack or light meal.
