Begin by preheating your toaster or toaster oven. Toast two slices of 7-grain bread until golden brown, usually about 3-5 minutes.

Once your bread is toasted, let it cool for a minute, then generously spread approximately 1/4 cup of creamy cottage cheese over each slice.

Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over the cottage cheese to enhance flavors beautifully.

Arrange several thin slices of seedless cucumber atop each cottage cheese-covered toast, followed by delicate layers of smoked salmon. Optionally, add red onion, capers, and fresh dill.

Serve your savory Cottage Cheese Toast immediately, optionally presenting sliced tomatoes on the side.
