Ingredients
Scale:
2 slices of artisan bread (sourdough or whole grain)
1/2 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
2 tablespoons butter (softened)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese with a pinch of salt and pepper. Optionally add herbs like chives or basil.
Lay one slice of artisan bread on a clean surface. Spread half of the cottage cheese mixture evenly over the bread. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese on top.
Place the second slice of artisan bread on top to create the sandwich. Press down gently.
Generously spread softened butter on the top and bottom of the sandwich.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully place the sandwich in the skillet. Grill for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.
Flip the sandwich over gently and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes.
Remove the grilled cheese from the pan and let it sit for a minute. Slice in half and serve warm.
