It depends on you and your goals! I prefer a high fiber toast like whole wheat, but sourdough would also be delicious. Pick one that fits your taste and budget.
This recipe is best enjoyed immediately after assembling. If you’d like to take this to work or school, make sure you have access to a fridge and toaster. Store ingredients separately and assemble right before eating.
In Canada, I use Nordica cottage cheese because it’s what’s available! If you’re in the US, I think Good Culture cottage cheese has the absolutely best texture and taste.
