- Place the avocado flesh in a shallow bowl and mash roughly with a fork; it does not need to be perfectly smooth.
- Add the cottage cheese, chives, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir gently until incorporated, then adjust the seasoning.
- Butter the bread thinly, including the edges, or sprinkle it with a little olive oil. Toast in a non-stick pan over medium heat for a few minutes until lightly browned, turn, and toast for 1 to 2 minutes more. A toaster may also be used, with butter or oil optional.
