Ingredients

  • 2 slices sourdough
  • 10 pitted Castelvetrano olives
  • 1 Tbsp olive brine
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • ½ tsp lemon zest from ½ of a lemon
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice from ½ of a lemon
  • 2 Tbsp shredded sharp cheddar

Instructions

  • Toast: Lightly toast 2 slices sourdough (just partially toast them because they'll be heated again once assembled).
    Two slices of toasted bread on a round ceramic plate, placed on a light brown textured surface.
  • Mix: In a medium bowl, use a fork to roughly smash 10 pitted Castelvetrano olives. Stir in 1 Tbsp olive brine, ½ cup cottage cheese, ½ tsp lemon zest, and 1 Tbsp lemon juice.
    A bowl with cottage cheese, mashed avocado, lemon zest, and a spoon on a light brown surface.
  • Assemble: Spoon mixture evenly onto toast. Evenly top with 2 Tbsp shredded sharp cheddar.
    Two slices of bread on a baking tray topped with cottage cheese, herbs, and shredded cheese, ready to be baked.
  • Broil: Set oven or air fryer to "broil" and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely, until cheese is melted and beginning to turn golden brown.
    Two slices of toasted bread topped with melted cheese, ricotta, and green olives, served on a wooden board with a lemon wedge and green olives nearby.

Notes

Storage: This one is make-and-eat. The mixture keeps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days, so you can prep it ahead and spoon it onto fresh toast when you're ready. Don't store assembled toast. The bread goes soft fast once the cottage cheese is on it.
