Recipe Notes, Variations and Substitutions

If you are not a fan of cottage cheese's texture process it in a food processor or with an immersion blender for a creamier whipped texture. Here are more ideas for switching up this simple recipe:

Use raisin bread.
Substitute ricotta cheese for the cottage cheese
Add a bit of lemon zest to the cottage cheese.
Mix cottage cheese with a little whipped cream for a cheesecake like flavor.
Top toast with a little crushed pineapple, chopped peach, sliced apple, sliced pear or fresh berries either before or after broiling.
Add a dollop of applesauce, apple butter or your favorite low sugar fruit spread before or after broiling.
