And now it’s taking center stage with this creamy cottage cheese toast! The sweet and tangy OMG Tomatoes™, plus fresh basil and a drizzle of honey add so much flavor and depth to the dish.

Step 1: To a food processor or blender, add the cottage cheese, lemon zest, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Now assemble your toasts! Spread a thick layer of the blended cottage cheese on a slice of toast. On top of the cottage cheese add the tomatoes, a drizzle of honey, minced basil, and micro greens (optional). Repeat and enjoy!
NOTE: To make thyme-infused honey slightly warm the honey with a few sprigs of fresh thyme. Keep the thyme in for as long as you’d like – the longer it stays the stronger the thyme flavor will be.
