Our Favorite Avocado Toast
{makes 2}
2 thin slices sourdough bread
1 large lemon
1 large ripe avocado
pinch kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
5.3-ounce container cottage cheese (whole milk or low-fat), about 2/3 cup
flaky sea salt, such as Falksalt
crushed red pepper
Toast bread. Remove from toaster and let cool. Place on a wire rack or just across the top of the toaster to keep the toast crisp.
Use a microplane to zest a large lemon. Set zest aside and cut lemon in half, reserving one half for another use.
Halve an avocado, remove pit, and squeeze lemon juice over the exposed flesh. Slice avocado while still in the peel, then use a large spoon to scoop out onto a cutting board. Squeeze remainder of the lemon half over top, along with a large pinch of kosher salt.
Use a fork to mash until smooth or slightly chunky. Add freshly ground pepper and mash lightly to incorporate.
Divide cottage cheese over the two pieces of toast. Top with freshly ground pepper.
Gently spread avocado mixture on top of the cottage cheese.
Top toasts with a sprinkling of flaky sea salt (breaking apart large flakes with your fingers as you sprinkle), crushed red pepper, and reserved lemon zest.
Serve immediately.
