Cooking Tips

  • Achieving creamy texture: For a smoother spread, thoroughly combine the avocado and cottage cheese until you reach your desired consistency. Adding lemon juice not only prevents browning but also adds a fresh zing to the flavor.
  • Dairy-free protein options: Incorporating mashed beans or chickpeas instead of cottage cheese can keep the recipe high in protein while making it dairy-free and vegan-friendly.
  • Gluten-free option: Choosing a gluten-free bread, such as a slice made from almond flour or another gluten-free flour, makes this meal suitable for those avoiding gluten.
  • Boosting flavors: Don't hesitate to experiment with the optional add-ins and toppings. Garlic enhances the spread's flavor, while seeds like pumpkin, sunflower, or hemp hearts add texture and extra protein.
