💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Heat your pan to medium-low (275-300°F surface temp) before adding chili crisp to prevent the oil from smoking and turning the crispy bits bitter.technique275-300°F
- ✓Choose avocados that yield slightly to pressure but aren't soft - they should register 4-6 on the firmness scale to slice cleanly without mashing into the cottage cheese.ingredient4-6 firmness scale
- ✓Toast bread to an internal temperature of 200-210°F to create enough structural integrity to support wet toppings without becoming soggy within 3-4 minutes.technique200-210°F
- ✓Add cottage cheese while toast is still warm (above 140°F) so it slightly warms and becomes more spreadable, creating better adhesion for toppings.timingabove 140°F
- ✓Drizzle hot honey in a 1:3 ratio with the cottage cheese by volume - the heat will slightly melt into the cheese while maintaining viscosity contrast.ingredient1:3 ratio
