Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices sourdough or rustic bread
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup Bulgarian lutenitsa
  • 1 small cucumber sliced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill or parsley
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Chili flakes optional

Equipment

  • 1 Toaster or grill pan
  • 1 Bread knife
  • 1 Small mixing bowls
  • 1 Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Toast the bread until golden and crispy using a toaster, grill pan, or oven.
  2. Spread cottage cheese evenly across each slice of warm toast.
  3. Spoon lutenitsa over the cottage cheese layer.
  4. Top with cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, green onions, and fresh herbs.
  5. Drizzle lightly with olive oil.
  6. Season with black pepper, salt if needed, and optional chili flakes.
  7. Serve immediately while the toast remains crisp.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture.
  • Thick rustic bread works best for holding toppings.
  • Add soft-boiled eggs or avocado for extra protein and richness.
  • Assemble fresh for the best texture.
  • Fresh dill pairs especially well with lutenitsa.
