Ingredients

Rye bread1 slice, about 40 g
Cottage cheese80 g
Cherry tomatoes60 g
Chilli flakesA pinch
Fresh basilA few leaves
Black pepperTo taste

Method

Toast the rye until it is crisp right through, which takes longer than white bread.
Spoon the cottage cheese over and sit the halved tomatoes on top, cut side up.
Finish with chilli flakes, pepper and the basil torn over.

Worth knowing

Cottage cheese at 80 g gives 12 g of protein for the slice. The same slice with butter and a slab of cheddar is roughly double the calories.
Rye toast holds a wet topping for a few minutes longer than white does. Eat it straight away all the same.
