Avocado Toast with Cottage Cheese, Sesame and Chili
Hearty dark rye toast is spread with creamy cottage cheese and topped with a neat fan of ripe avocado. A dusting of hot paprika and toasted sesame seeds adds warmth and crunch, with a pile of baby spinach alongside.
Test kitchen note: Slice the avocado while it is still in its skin, then scoop the whole half out at once; pressing gently fans it perfectly.
Method 6 steps
-
Toast the rye bread until crisp at the edges.
-
Spread a thick layer of cottage cheese on each slice and season with a little flaky salt.
-
Halve the avocados, remove the pits and slice thinly in the skin. Scoop each half out and press gently to fan.
-
Lay the avocado over the cottage cheese and brush with lemon juice.
-
Dust with hot paprika and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
-
Toss the spinach with olive oil and a pinch of salt and pile it beside the toasts.
That is the whole pie. Enjoy every slice.
