👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Grab a bowl and add cottage cheese, 1 egg, and everything bagel seasoning. Mix with a fork.
- 2
Spread on top of 2 slices of whole wheat bread.
- 3
Air fry for 5-6 minutes at 375°F or bake in the oven until browned.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Drain your cottage cheese through a fine-mesh strainer for 2-3 minutes before mixing to remove excess whey, which prevents the toast from becoming soggy and allows the spread to set up properly during air frying.ingredient2-3 minutes drainage
- ✓Toast the bread slices to 165°F internal temperature (about 2 minutes at 375°F) before spreading the cottage cheese mixture to create a moisture barrier that prevents the starch from absorbing liquid.timing165°F internal | 2 minutes pre-toast
- ✓Use a 2:1 cottage cheese-to-egg ratio (1/2 cup to 1/4 cup egg) rather than the full egg, as excess moisture prevents proper browning; the egg acts as a binder and emulsifier at this ratio without creating steam that causes a rubbery top.ingredient2:1 ratio
- ✓Apply the cottage cheese mixture at 1/4-inch thickness maximum and air fry at 375°F for exactly 5 minutes (not 6) to achieve browning at 350°F surface temperature before the egg proteins over-coagulate and become rubbery.timing375°F | 5 minutes | 1/4-inch thickness
