Toast the sourdough just until it starts to crisp. Don't let it get too brown since it will go under the broiler again.
In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, ¼ cup of the cheddar, chopped pickled jalapeños, green onion, Dijon mustard, Everything Bagel seasoning, garlic powder, a small pinch of sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Divide the cottage cheese mixture between the two slices of sourdough, spreading it generously right to the edges.
Top each slice with the remaining cheddar, a few extra slices of pickled jalapeño and another sprinkle of Everything Bagel seasoning.
Place the toast under the broiler for 2–3 minutes, watching very closely, until the cheddar is melted and bubbling and the edges of the sourdough are golden and crisp.
Finish with freshly cracked black pepper, sliced green onion and, if you want a little sweet with the heat, a drizzle of honey or hot honey.
Serve immediately while the toast is hot and crispy.
