Farmer Cheese Pizza Toast

Our Farmer Cheese Pizza Toast recipe is a healthy toast recipe packed with pizza flavor and protein from Lifeway Farmer Cheese! For this recipe, we used cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, basil, and red pepper atop a layer of marinara sauce and Lifeway Farmer Cheese, our artisan protein-rich cheese with live probiotics. We layered these ingredients on slices of sourdough bread, which is also a good choice of bread for gut health.

Our handcrafted Farmer Cheese has a mild flavor, similar to fresh mozzarella, with a smooth texture that’s similar to blended cottage cheese. It flawlessly complements the rest of the ingredients and is great if you love cottage cheese pizza!

The Benefits of Cultured Dairy for Better Health:

Research continues to show the importance of eating healthy foods, including cultured dairy such as kefir, for optimal digestion and gut health, a strong immune system, and to support the microbiome. Fermented foods like kefir hold important value in this line of research due to the link between the gut-brain axis and overall health. Specifically, kefir has been shown to help diversify the microbiome, improve digestion, reduce inflammation, support healthier blood sugar levels, and improve satiety since the bioavailable protein it contains triggers the release of GLP-1.

Lifeway Kefir is packed with a variety of vital nutrients important for overall health, including bone and muscle health; these include vitamin D3, K, calcium, and vitamin B12. Along with our probiotic-rich kefir, Lifeway also offers artisan-made Farmer Cheese,a creamy, high-protein cheese made with live and active cultures to support healthy muscles and a healthy microbiome. Lifeway Farmer Cheese is easy to spread, free of gums and thickeners, and contains no added salt or sugar for optimal health benefits.
