Can I use any type of bread?

Yes! Sourdough, whole wheat, white bread, and multigrain bread can all work. Thicker slices are especially helpful because they hold the toppings better.

Do I need to blend the cottage cheese first?

No. You can use cottage cheese straight from the container. If you prefer a smoother texture, blend it briefly before spreading it on the bread.

Why is my cottage cheese toast soggy?

Too much moisture is usually the reason. Drain watery cottage cheese, use a thin layer of pizza sauce, and avoid piling on too many toppings.
