Equipment
- air fryer or oven!
- whisk or fork
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning or Everything Bagel Seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, egg, and Italian seasoning or Everything Bagel Seasoning until well combined.
- Lightly press the center of each slice of bread with the back of a spoon to create a shallow well.
- Divide the cottage cheese mixture evenly between the slices, spreading it almost to the edges. Then sprinkle shredded cheese on top!
- Air fry for 6-8 minutes, or until the topping is set and lightly golden. Let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired.
Notes
- Blend the cottage cheese first if you prefer a smoother texture.
- Air fryer cooking times may vary, so begin checking around 6 minutes.
- Mozzarella creates a mild melty topping (and lower sodium), while cheddar adds a sharper flavor.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat in the air fryer.
