The bagel-and-lox idea rebuilt for more protein: lemony whipped cottage cheese instead of cream cheese, silky smoked salmon, capers and dill on crunchy sourdough. Works open on toast or closed as a sandwich to go.

Ingredients

• 150 g Cottage cheese
• 80 g Smoked salmon
• 2 slices Sourdough bread
• 1 tsp Capers, drained
• Red onion, thinly sliced × 1
• 3 g Fresh dill
• 2 g Fresh chives, snipped
• Lemon × 1
• 1 pinch Black pepper

Method

1. Whip the Cheese

   

   Beat the cottage cheese for a minute with the chives, a squeeze of lemon and plenty of black pepper until creamy and spoonable.

2. Toast

   

   Toast the sourdough until deeply golden.

3. Build It

   

   Spread the cottage cheese thickly, drape over the smoked salmon, and finish with capers, red onion, dill and one more squeeze of lemon — or close it into a sandwich.
