Cottage cheese recently joined my list of favorite cheeses. I kind of forgot about it, but it’s getting back on the list. Works perfectly as lunch of a sandwich and forms a perfect combination with fruits and vegetables due to the sweet and soft flavour of the cheese itself. And of course; Avocado and cottage cheese are a masterly combination!

Ingredients for 1 ciabatta:

  • 1 ciabatta
  • 1 avocado
  • 100 gr cottage cheese
  • ½ lime
  • 1 garlic clove
  • dill
  • pepper
  • olive oil

How to prepare it:

Start by baking the bread in the oven based on the instructions of the package. Have it cool down and once it’s cold enough cut it into nice slim slices. Put the slices on a griddle.

Put some olive oil in a small bowl, add crushed garlic of ½ garlic clove (cut the garlic in half, take out the root and squeeze it into the oil) and set it aside so that the garlic can really get into the olive oil.

Use the oil with garlic to grease the bread slices, make sure that you cover all of them and put them under the grill for about 2 minutes until they have a very nice light brown glance, they should be somewhat soft on the bottom and nice and crispy on the top. Be careful that you don’t grill the bread to long, they turn black in a blink of an eye. Put them aside to cool down.

Cut the avocado into thin slices.

Put some avocado slices on top of the bruschettas, cover with the cottage cheese. Sprinkle some lime juice, black pepper and dried dill on top.
