Cottage Cheese Toast with a Peppery Zing

Truth time: Lumpy, white curds of cottage cheese may not be the prettiest ingredient in your fridge, but they are handy to have around when you’re in a rush. Seriously, try cottage cheese on toast and never look back. Katie Sullivan Morford, author of Rise & Shine, shares a pretty in pink radish tartine recipe, highlighting an extremely underrated cheese, for a quick breakfast. You might be surprised by what a light drizzle of olive oil and a crack of black pepper can do for this otherwise humble toast recipe. If you aren’t a fan of cottage cheese, make it with fresh ricotta instead.Cottage Cheese, Olive Oil, and Black Pepper TartineExcerpted from Rise and Shine by Katie Sullivan Morford, © 2016 by Katie Sullivan Morford.
