03 -
- To get the best toast texture, let the toasted bread cool for just a minute before adding cottage cheese, this prevents the cheese from melting too quickly and losing body.
- Slice vegetables as thinly as possible for a layered look and crisp bite. A sharp knife or mandoline helps for even slices.
- For extra flavor, toast seeds in a dry pan for a minute or two until fragrant and golden before topping.
