Fig Jam & Cottage Cheese Toast, Honey Style

Honey, Fig Jam and Cottage Cheese Toast is the reliable lazy day snack. Toasted sourdough bread is topped with cottage cheese and fig jam, a drizzle of honey and sprinkle of toasted chopped walnuts. Yields 1 serving but can easily be doubled to serve more.

A regular here a good midday toast snack.

A old-school peanut butter with either honey or raspberry jam, hummus toast, avocado toast, whipped feta topped with marinated tomatoes – the list goes on. However, this cottage cheese toast situation is my latest obsession. It starts with toasted quality sourdough bread that is then topped wit cottage cheese, sweet fig jam and hot honey. To.Die.For.

There’s a couple ways I make this. Toasting the sourdough and topping with cottage cheese remains the same BUT, I either use Jenkins Jellies Fiery Fig Jam -aka the most satisfying spicy fig jam there ever was (not sponsored) and top with regular honey or (if I’m out of that) I use regular fig jam and top with hot honey. Either way the spicy sweet combo is striking with the creamy cottage cheese and the crunchy texture of the crusty bread.

To Make Honey Fig Jam & Cottage Cheese Toast Gather:

  • sourdough bread – Or use a sturdy bread of your choice.
  • cottage cheese – I use Good Culture low-fat 2% (not sponsored).
  • fig jam – Adds a touch of sweetness and satisfying flavor.
  • honey – Use hot honey or regular.
  • walnuts – Toast whole in a dry skillet until fragrant, then roughly chop!

Why do you need a step-by-step post of this? I don’t know. But start by toasting whole walnuts in a dry skillet until fragrant, then roughly chop and set off to the side. Next toast your sourdough. One piece of toast is enough for me but I was also making one for A friend as well.

Once toasted (although it doesn’t look toasted) top with a few spoonfuls of cottage cheese and spread evenly.

Do the same with a few spoonfuls of fig jam.

Lastly, drizzle with honey and top with chopped toasted walnuts.
