1. Toast the bread slices in a skillet, toaster, or under the oven broiler until golden. If using the oven, broil or bake at 220 °C / 425 °F for 3 to 5 minutes, watching closely so they do not burn.

2. Place the cottage cheese in a small blender or food processor and blend with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper until thick and spreadable.

4. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil, grapes, chopped rosemary, and honey. Cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring, until the grapes are warmed through, glossy, and a few begin to lightly burst. Add a small pinch of salt.

Chef tips
For a smoother texture, blend the cottage cheese for 1 extra minute. If the grapes are very large, quarter them so they sit better on the toast.
Substitutions
You can substitute the walnuts with pecans or almonds if you want a different flavor. Cottage cheese can be replaced with ricotta, though the final texture will be slightly different. Fresh rosemary can be swapped for fresh thyme.
