1. Sourdough Toast with Cottage Cheese, Tomatoes, and Balsamic Glaze

Ingredients:

• 2 slices sourdough bread
• 1/2 cup cottage cheese
• 1-2 tomatoes, sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (or fresh oregano if you have it)
• Flaky salt, to taste
• Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Toast the sourdough bread. Toast the slices of sourdough bread in a toaster or on a skillet with a little olive oil until golden and crispy.
2. Prepare the toppings. In a small bowl, mix the cottage cheese with a pinch of salt and a little oregano for flavor.
3. Assemble the toast. Spread the seasoned cottage cheese generously on top of the warm sourdough toast.
4. Top with tomatoes. Arrange the sliced tomatoes on top of the cottage cheese, slightly overlapping them.
5. Drizzle with balsamic glaze. In a small pan, heat olive oil and balsamic vinegar over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until it reduces into a thick, syrupy consistency. Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the tomatoes and cheese.
6. Sprinkle with oregano and flaky salt. Add a sprinkle of dried oregano and finish with a generous pinch of flaky salt.
7. Serve and enjoy. Garnish with fresh basil if you like and serve immediately.
