What is bread cheese?
Bread cheese is a semi-soft Finnish cheese. It's also called juustoleipä or leipäjuusto.Traditionally, it is crafted from reindeer milk, but the version available in the US uses pasteurized cow's milk. Resembling toasted bread in appearance, it browns and chars slightly.
Like halloumi, bread cheese doesn't melt upon heating; it becomes soft. It is not a bread toast, but for a low-carb avocado "toast" it's a pretty epic substitute!

Preparation and cooking overview
Simply heat a small cast iron skillet, cook the bread cheese for 1 minute per side until warmed, and then remove it from the skillet. Top it with your desired toppings. In just 15 minutes, you'll have a mouthwatering low-carb avocado toast ready to devour.
Chef's note
Add a pop of color and extra nutrients to your keto avocado toast by incorporating sliced tomatoes, red onions, or some vibrant greens like spinach or arugula. Not only will it make your toast visually appealing, but it will also provide nutrients.

Chef's pro tip
Be careful not to overcook the bread cheese. Heat it for about 1 minute per side in the skillet until it's soft and gooey, not overly cooked.
How to cut an avocado?
Here's a simple and effective method for cutting an avocado:
- Cut the avocado in half lengthwise by slicing all the way around.
- Twist the halves to separate them.
- Carefully tap the knife into the pit and twist it to remove it.
- Place the halves, cut side down, on a cutting board. Cut each half in half again, then gently peel off the skin. This helps preserve the nutrients close to the skin and keeps your avocado slices looking neat and appealing.

I'd never have thought to use bread cheese, but I'm gonna now! I also didn't know that saturated fats protect your liver. Definitely a bonus for me! Love all the topping ideas, too!
