Toast is a way of life
If you haven’t figured it out by now, I’m a texture girl when it comes to food so listen, I just don’t trust people who don’t like toast. It’s the perfect crunchy vehicle for my favorite veggies and creamy cheese and it absolutely smacks on its own with a little butter. I love changing up my toppings based on the seasons but I always reach for local baked sesame wheat or sourdough loaves for my toast cravings. If you're local to SF, Josie Baker, Jane the Baker, Tartine, and Acme are my favorite bread bakers in town
Tips for the best toast
Y’all, let me change your toast game: toast your bread in a pan. I hate the way toasters suck all of the moisture out of bread and leave behind an explosion of crumbs. I want toast to be crunchy, not dry. Skip the toaster, heat up olive oil or butter in a skillet, and pan fry your bread slice until golden brown, flip, and cook until lightly browned on the other side.
I always let my toast cool propped up on the rim of the pan for a couple of minutes before topping it so that it can cool without getting soggy underneath and isn’t so hot that it melts the toppings.
Cucumber Toast with Cottage Cheese & Dill
1 serving | 10 minutes
Ingredients
¼ cup diced english cucumber
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp dill, chopped
1” slice of sesame bread
Olive oil
¼ cup cottage cheese, whole or double cream
Flake salt
Fresh cracked pepper
Instructions
In a small bow, mix together ¼ cup diced cucumber, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dill, a pinch of flake salt, and a few cranks of fresh cracked pepper pepper. Set aside.
Slice your bread into a 1” thick piece.
Heat a skillet over medium, drizzle olive oil all over your bread slice (don’t hold back, coat that puppy) and place oil side down into the skillet. Cook until golden brown, flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to get the bottom crisp. Allow your toast to cool for a few minutes propped up on the side of the skillet.
Spread ¼ cup cottage cheese evenly across the olive oil side of the toast. Top with the cucumber mixture and sprinkle additional flake salt and fresh cracked pepper on top.
