3. Spread the cottage cheese evenly over the warm slices of bread.
4. Arrange the radish slices on top and season everything with 1 pinch of salt.

6. Serve the protein bread as soon as it's topped, while the bread is still warm and the radishes are nice and crunchy.

Good to know

When it needs to be quick, a savoury open sandwich like this is simply worth its weight in gold. Creamy, crunchy and pleasantly fresh. Just the thing for an easy plate.

Swaps

Cottage cheese → cottage cheese made from sheep's or goat's milk (similar protein content, different flavour); radishes → cucumber (milder, juicy); chives → parsley (more vitamin K); bread → wholegrain sourdough bread (often a little more fibre and a stronger flavour)

Allergens

Contains gluten and milk. Usually suits children if the radishes aren't too peppery for them, and in pregnancy it's generally fine with fresh, well-chilled cottage cheese made from pasteurised milk.
