Toasts with cottage cheese, garlic, and herbs are a light, aromatic dish that combines Italian culinary traditions with the freshness of natural ingredients. Crispy whole grain bread soaked in creamy cottage cheese spread with a bright hint of garlic and fresh dill creates a harmony of textures. Warm stewed tomatoes with olive oil and balsamic add juiciness and a slight tanginess, enriching the flavor. This recipe, reminiscent of classic Italian bruschetta, can be an ideal breakfast or snack served with wine and fresh salads. Easy to prepare, it delights with a combination of softness and crunch, tenderness and spiciness. The toasts offer a rich taste of the Mediterranean in every bite, evoking sunny terraces and cozy evenings by the sea.
