Cottage Cheese and Fig Toast with Walnuts and Honey (Print version)

Creamy cottage cheese, ripe figs, toasted walnuts, and honey layered on crisp whole grain toast for a fast breakfast or snack.

# Ingredients:

For the toast

01 - 2 thick slices whole grain or sourdough bread

02 - 1/2 cup (120 g) cottage cheese, preferably whole-milk

03 - 2 fresh figs, thinly sliced

04 - 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts

05 - 2 teaspoons honey, plus more to taste

06 - Pinch of flaky salt

07 - 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or chopped mint, optional

# Instructions:

01 - Toast the bread until deeply golden and crisp at the edges. A firm base helps the toppings stay in place.

02 - Place the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, shaking often, until fragrant. Transfer to a board and chop roughly if needed.

03 - Stir the cottage cheese until creamy. If it looks watery, drain it briefly through a fine sieve before using.

04 - Spread cottage cheese evenly over each toast. Arrange sliced figs on top, overlapping slightly.

05 - Sprinkle with toasted walnuts, drizzle with honey, add flaky salt, and finish with thyme or mint if using. Serve immediately.

# Good to know:

01 - Best eaten immediately after assembly.

02 - Use ripe figs that feel soft but not mushy.

03 - Toast the walnuts for the best flavor and crunch.
