Main Ingredients
- ½ medium avocado
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Everything but the Bagel seasoning
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp honey (optional for topping)
- 2 slices sourdough bread (or your favorite bread)

- Add the cottage cheese: Spoon the cottage cheese on top of the avocado layer evenly over each piece of toast, creating a creamy and hearty topping.
- Finish and garnish: Drizzle honey, hot honey, or balsamic glaze over the cottage cheese for a touch of sweetness and contrast. Optionally, add an extra squeeze of lemon and a pinch of Everything but the Bagel seasoning for enhanced zest and texture.

- For a vegan alternative, substitute cottage cheese with a plant-based cheese or tofu spread.
- Everything but the Bagel seasoning can be homemade or store-bought and adds a perfect savory crunch.
- Serve immediately after assembling to prevent the bread from getting soggy.
