You will need the following handful of ingredients listed below to make the high-protein cheese toast (the exact measurements, nutritional information and full recipe are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post):

Sourdough bread – Sourdough, whole grain, or your favorite toast.
Cottage cheese – Adds protein and creaminess without the heaviness of mozzarella alone.
Pizza sauce or marinara sauce – Store-bought or homemade.
Shredded mozzarella – For that gooey pizza pull.
Toppings – Pepperoni, veggies, fresh basil, or whatever your heart desires.
Seasoning – Italian seasoning, garlic powder, or chili flakes for extra flavor.
Optional – hot honey, sun-dried tomatoes, burrata cheese, turkey pepperoni, etc.

HOW TO MAKE THE VIRAL HIGH PROTEIN COTTAGE CHEESE PIZZA TOAST

Preheat your oven or air fryer to 375°F.
Spread pizza sauce over the bread as your first layer.
Add cottage cheese on top of the sauce and spread evenly.
Add toppings of your choice (pepperoni, veggies, etc.) and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
Bake or air fry for 5–7 minutes, or until heated through and edges are crispy.
Serve hot and enjoy immediately.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR BEST RESULTS

Blend the cottage cheese if you want a smoother, ricotta-like texture.
Toast first so your bread doesn’t get soggy.
Use high-protein bread to make it even more filling.
Add fresh herbs after baking for a pop of color and flavor.
Meal prep tip: Make a few at once and reheat in the air fryer.

STORAGE

Cottage Cheese Pizza Toast is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven to bring back the crispiness.
