# Instructions:
01 -
In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup full-fat cottage cheese, 1/4 cup fresh blueberries, 1 tsp honey, 1/4 tsp vanilla extract, 1/4 tsp lemon zest, and 1/2 tsp granulated sugar. Gently stir to combine, slightly mashing some blueberries for a vibrant swirl. This forms the creamy base for your toast.

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush one side of 1 slice thick-cut sourdough bread with 1/2 tsp olive oil. This olive oil helps achieve the perfect golden crispness for your toast base, ensuring a delightful texture.

Place the prepared sourdough bread, oil-side up, into the air fryer basket. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and perfectly crispy. This forms the essential crunchy base for your Crispy Air Fryer Blueberry Cottage Cheese Toast.

Carefully remove the crispy sourdough from the air fryer. Evenly spread the prepared blueberry cottage cheese mixture over the warm toast. This creamy layer is essential for your delicious Crispy Air Fryer Blueberry Cottage Cheese Toast.
05 -
Sprinkle 1 tbsp chopped pecans, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt over the cottage cheese layer. The warmth of the toast will slightly toast the pecans, enhancing their flavor and crunch for an added dimension.
06 -
For a fresh finish, garnish your Crispy Air Fryer Blueberry Cottage Cheese Toast with 1 small sprig fresh mint. Serve immediately to enjoy the delightful contrast of warm, crispy toast with the cool, creamy topping.
