How to Serve Cottage Cheese Pumpkin Bread

I’ll never forget the first time I served this bread at a family brunch—my aunt declared it “the best pumpkin bread she’d ever tasted!” Here’s how I love to enjoy it:

Warm slices with a pat of butter melting into the crumb.
Paired with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey.
Alongside a cozy cup of chai tea or spiced coffee.

For a savory contrast, try it with my Cottage Cheese Chicken Salad. And if you’re hosting, these Hot Pepper Jelly Cheese Bites make a fantastic appetizer!
