- 1–2 tsp hot honey
Seasoning & Garnish

Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Toast 1 slice of sourdough bread in the skillet until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

- Season & Finish: Sprinkle Italian seasoning and salt and pepper to taste over the toast. Drizzle 1-2 teaspoons of hot honey over everything for a sweet-spicy kick, then garnish with fresh basil leaves for freshness.

- Adjust the amount of hot honey depending on your desired spice level.
- Use low-fat or regular cottage cheese based on preference.
- Sun-dried tomato oil is optional but adds extra depth of flavor.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm toast and fresh basil.
