A quick and nutritious Smoked Salmon Toast featuring whole grain bread topped with creamy cottage cheese, fresh cucumbers, heirloom tomatoes, and Nova Lox, finished with red onion, everything bagel seasoning, and fresh dill. Perfect for a healthy breakfast or light meal in just 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Bread & Cheese

  • 2 slices whole grain bread (such as Daves Killer Thin Sliced 21 Whole Grains and Seeds)
  • ½ cup 2% cottage cheese (Good Culture preferred)

Toppings

  • 1 ½ ounces Nova Lox (sliced smoked salmon)
  • ½ cup Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • ½ heirloom tomato, thinly sliced
  • Red onion, a few thin slivers
  • Everything bagel seasoning, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill
  • Optional: Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
  • Optional: A few capers

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread: Toast the two slices of whole grain bread until they are golden brown and crisp to your liking, providing a sturdy base for the toppings.
  2. Spread cottage cheese: Evenly spread ¼ cup of 2% cottage cheese on each slice of toasted bread to add a creamy texture and mild flavor.
  3. Add fresh vegetables: Layer the thinly sliced Persian cucumbers and heirloom tomato over the cottage cheese on each toast for a fresh, crisp bite.
  4. Top with smoked salmon and onion: Place 1 ½ ounces of Nova Lox slices over the vegetables, then add a few slivers of red onion to provide a slight sharpness.
  5. Season and garnish: Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning generously on top, followed by fresh dill for a burst of herbal aroma and flavor.
  6. Optional finishing touches: If desired, drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the toast and add a few capers to introduce a touch of saltiness and complexity to the dish.

Notes

  • This recipe serves one but can easily be doubled or tripled for more servings.
  • Using thin sliced whole grain bread helps keep the toast light but sturdy enough to hold toppings.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute cottage cheese with mashed avocado or vegan cream cheese.
  • Everything bagel seasoning can be homemade or store-bought; adjust to taste.
  • The optional olive oil and capers add extra richness and a briny punch but can be omitted for a lighter option.
