Pineapple and cottage cheese toasts are made up of fresh, sautéed pineapple, and creamy cottage cheese atop any toasted bread. Only 4 ingredients to a flavorful and healthy egg free breakfast idea.

Often overlooked and underestimated, cottage cheese is actually a very neutral flavored protein. Add anything you want and it’ll take on those flavors. Moreover, it provides a great texture as well. I will admit cottage cheese wasn’t always my favorite growing up (simply by appearance alone), but with a luxurious sweetened golden pineapple topping, it helps hide the ‘funky looking curds’.

Moving on to pineapple. Pineapple of course is an asset in this recipe! Zesty, sweetened pineapple chunks sizzling in a pan, releasing their tropical aroma and caramelizing to perfection. Use a light brown sugar or honey to marinate the pieces of pineapple prior to sautéing, if time allows.

In addition to the pineapple and cottage cheese components, you will need a tasty bread. Use any bread you prefer, like Italian or French, or if you have some sourdough sandwich bread that would also work great! Gluten free bread would also work if you do not consume wheat 🙂

Why you’ll love pineapple and cottage cheese toasts:

This recipe is egg free, peanut free and tree nut free. Can also be gluten free, depending on your bread.
It is a really easy recipe- all the days of frying an egg in the morning and the time it takes to do so is the equivalent to this process with pineapple.
Cottage cheese offers a lot of benefits, like keeping you fuller longer, and it is high in calcium. Additionally it is soft and creamy, like cream cheese but lower in fat and higher in protein.
Perfect if you’re looking for a juicy, creamy and crisp combination!

Pineapple and cottage cheese toasts are a refreshing and easy breakfast idea. It gives great flavors, textures, and nutritional benefits for a quick and easy meal!

How to achieve tropical pineapple and cottage cheese toasts:

-Cut fresh pineapple into half inch to one inch pieces. Place in a small bowl and mix with brown sugar or honey (optional but helps caramelization and sweetness.) Set aside to marinate.

-Meanwhile, slice and toast 3-4 small pieces of bread. I like Italian or French white bread rounds.

-In a skillet over medium heat, spoon in the pieces of pineapple, reserving the juice at the bottom of the bowl.

-Sauté the pineapple, turning every so often to achieve a nice caramelization on all sides. Once cooked, remove to a new bowl.

-After placing caramelized pineapple in new bowl, place toast in the pan, drizzling with the reserved pineapple juice. This step is optional, but it does add the caramelization of the pineapple to rub onto the toast giving it more flavor.

-Remove to plate and begin to assemble:

—Beginning with the toast as the base

—Next add the cottage cheese,

— Next up, is the sautéed pineapple

—Option to add a sprinkling of chia seeds for a bit more crunch and nutritional benefits!
