2. Nutritional Benefits of Hot Honey Cottage Cheese Toast
Hot Honey Cottage Cheese Toast is working its way up as being a snack-time fav among my gluten-free friends due to the fact that it’s full of nutrition. Cottage cheese generally has 12 grams of protein per half cup.
It contains generous quantities of calcium, vitamin B12 and phosphorus — making it a nutritionally dense option for strengthening the bones and repairing muscle tissue. Hot honey adds more flavour, and a bit of sweetness in the lowest sugar way possible other than just straight jams or syrups.
The spiciness of the honey — a lot more chill-esque than sweet, usually chile-infused or pepper-and-honey-based heat– may even deliver metabolic boons from the capsaicin commonly found in spicy peppers. The spice helps with digestion and is also a natural metabolism enhancer, which makes this toast even healthier. Hot Honey Cottage Cheese Toast is best for those making a fuel-filled, well-rounded meal combining the health benefits of both lean protein and sweet heat.
3. How to Make and Customise Hot Honey Cottage Cheese Toast
Hot Honey Cottage Cheese Toast comes together in minutes and is incredibly easy to prepare. Use a solid base; choose wholegrain bread or sourdough, as they are dense and have crunch through toasting.
When the toast is done to your liking, top each slice with a spread of cottage cheese. If you like your cheese sauce to be smooth, puree it in the blender a bit more. If you appreciate some lumpiness factor going on with those nachos leave them as is (which I did for these photos). Then, generously drizzle original hot sauce over the cottage cheese to let that spicy-sweet infusion mix with meltingly creamy fromage.
They’re also incredibly versatile — Top with sliced avocado, fresh herbs such as basil or thyme, even a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for more heat if you like! Ingredients can also be added for extra something like chia or pumpkin seeds. Rice cakes, on the other hand, are an empty canvas and can be topped off however you see fit to accommodate your palate or diet. Hot Honey Cottage Cheese Toast, whether you like bold and spicy or mild flavours better this recipe is easy to make and enjoyed any time of day.
