Air Fryer Cherry Cottage Cheese Toast is a quick and flavorful toast recipe that’s perfect for breakfast or a snack. Creamy cottage cheese is spread over sourdough, topped with fresh cherries and hot honey, then crisped in the air fryer. A sprinkle of fresh mint and optional bee pollen adds brightness and texture. It’s sweet, savory, and packed with protein in every bite.
