Ingredients

4. 4. Add the fresh toppings: Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes and sliced or mashed avocado over the cottage cheese. Distribute them evenly for a balanced bite.

5. 5. Drizzle and garnish: Finish each toast with a light drizzle of olive oil. If using, sprinkle with fresh chopped chives or parsley for added freshness and color.
