# Instructions:
01 -
Spray 2 slices thick-cut sourdough bread with 4-6 spritzes olive oil spray and sprinkle with a pinch of fine sea salt. This prepares the base for your Crispy Air Fryer Blueberry Cottage Cheese Toast.
02 -
Place the prepared sourdough in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip halfway through for even browning.
03 -
In a small bowl, combine 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese, 1/2 cup fresh blueberries, 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract, and 1 tsp granulated sugar. Stir gently to combine.
04 -
In another small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp pure maple syrup, 1/2 tsp fresh lemon zest, and 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon. This vibrant drizzle will elevate your Crispy Air Fryer Blueberry Cottage Cheese Toast.
05 -
Spread the blueberry cottage cheese mixture evenly over each crispy sourdough slice. Generously drizzle the maple syrup mixture over the cottage cheese, ensuring every bite of your Crispy Air Fryer Blueberry Cottage Cheese Toast is flavorful.
06 -
Top the assembled Crispy Air Fryer Blueberry Cottage Cheese Toast with 2 tbsp chopped walnuts or pecans. For an extra touch, dust with 1 tsp powdered sugar and garnish with 2-3 fresh mint leaves before serving immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra crispiness, ensure your sourdough slices are not too thin. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to allow proper air circulation.
02 -
Feel free to substitute blueberries with raspberries or sliced strawberries. Pecans or almonds can also be used instead of walnuts for the topping.
03 -
This toast is best enjoyed immediately while the bread is warm and crispy. If prepping ahead, keep the components separate and assemble just before serving.
04 -
Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less granulated sugar to the cottage cheese, or extra maple syrup to the drizzle.
