Step 1

Toast: Lightly toast 2 slices sourdough (just partially toast them because they’ll be heated again once assembled).

Step 2

Mix: In a medium bowl, stir together 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 2 Tbsp shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1/4 to 1/2 jalapeno (finely diced, ribs and seeds removed), 2 Tbsp finely diced red onion, and 1 pinch salt and pepper. Use more or less jalapeno depending on heat preference.

Step 3

Assemble: Spoon mixture evenly onto toast. Optionally top each with a bit more shredded cheese.

Step 4

Broil: Set oven or air fryer to “broil” and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely, until cheese is melted and beginning to turn golden brown. Finish with fresh cracked black pepper and enjoy!
