Main Ingredients
- 1 slice sourdough bread
- 1/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese (e.g., Good Culture)
- 2 tbsp Rao’s Marinara sauce, warmed
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1–2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 tsp sun-dried tomato oil
- 1–2 tsp hot honey
- Italian seasoning, to taste
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place 1 slice of sourdough bread in the skillet and toast it until golden brown and crispy on both sides, flipping carefully to ensure even browning.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread the warmed marinara sauce evenly over the toasted bread. Then add an even layer of the low-fat cottage cheese on top of the marinara sauce.
- Add the Toppings: Drizzle an additional 2 tablespoons of warmed Rao’s Marinara sauce over the cottage cheese. Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of sun-dried tomatoes and drizzle 1 teaspoon of sun-dried tomato oil for enhanced flavor.
- Season & Finish: Sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste over the assembled toast. Drizzle 1-2 teaspoons of hot honey for a spicy-sweet kick. Finally, garnish with fresh basil leaves for a burst of freshness and aroma.
Notes
- Use low-fat cottage cheese to keep the recipe light while maintaining its protein content.
- Adjust the amount of hot honey according to your preferred spice level.
- For a crispier toast, use a thicker slice of sourdough bread.
- Sun-dried tomato oil can be substituted with olive oil if unavailable, but it adds a distinctive flavor.
- This recipe is best enjoyed immediately for the freshest texture and taste.
