  1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat and toast the bread slice in the oven or toaster until golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. Place the toasted bread into the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until edges are golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove the toast from the skillet and spread the seasoned cottage cheese evenly over the hot surface, allowing it to slightly melt and become creamy.
  6. Garnish with additional herbs if desired, and add a final crack of black pepper for flavor.
  7. Serve immediately while the toast is crispy and the cottage cheese is warm and creamy. Enjoy your light, satisfying low-carb breakfast!
