Ingredients
Base
- 1 slice sourdough bread
- 1 tbsp butter
Toppings
- 1/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese (Good Culture recommended)
- 2 tbsp Rao’s Marinara sauce, warmed
- 1-2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 tsp sun-dried tomato oil
- 1-2 tsp hot honey
- Italian seasoning, salt & pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Heat a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter, and toast 1 slice of sourdough bread until both sides are golden brown and crispy, ensuring a crunchy base for the pizza toast.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread 2 tablespoons of warmed Rao’s Marinara sauce evenly over the toasted bread, then layer 1/4 cup of low-fat cottage cheese on top for creamy richness.
- Add the Toppings: Drizzle an additional 2 tablespoons of warm marinara sauce over the cottage cheese. Scatter 1-2 tablespoons of sun-dried tomatoes and drizzle 1 teaspoon of sun-dried tomato oil to boost the tomato flavor profile.
- Season & Finish: Sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to your taste. Drizzle 1-2 teaspoons of hot honey over the toast for a sweet-spicy contrast, and garnish with fresh basil leaves for a fragrant finish.
Notes
- Bread choice: Replace sourdough with whole wheat, multigrain, or a gluten-free bread option if preferred.
- Cottage cheese: Use low-fat for a lighter bite or full-fat cottage cheese for a creamier taste.
- Hot honey substitute: Mix honey with a pinch of red pepper flakes or chili flakes if hot honey is unavailable.
