Air Fryer Blueberry Cottage Cheese Toast

Ingredients

For the toast:
2 slices sourdough bread, or whole grain / high-protein bread
1 cup cottage cheese, full-fat or low-fat
½ cup fresh blueberries

For flavor:
1 teaspoon honey, or maple syrup, for drizzling
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract, optional
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
½ teaspoon flaky sea salt, optional, recommended
Lemon zest, chopped nuts, or fresh mint (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Toast the bread. Place 2 slices of bread in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 3–5 minutes, until deeply golden and crisp. Don’t crowd the basket.

Prep the cottage cheese. While the bread toasts, stir 1 cup cottage cheese with vanilla and cinnamon in a small bowl. For a smooth, ricotta-like texture, blend in a food processor for 20–30 seconds.

Assemble. Spread the cottage cheese mixture generously over the warm toast. Top with fresh blueberries and drizzle with honey or maple syrup.

Blister the berries (recommended). Return the topped toast to the air fryer for 1–2 minutes at 350°F, until the blueberries soften and begin to burst.

Finish. Top with a pinch of flaky salt, optional nuts or mint, and serve immediately.
