Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons tomato sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Lay out two slices of bread on a clean surface ready for assembling the sandwich.
- Spread the sauce: Evenly spread 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce over one side of each slice of bread to add rich flavor.
- Add the cheeses: On one slice, spread 1/4 cup of cottage cheese, then sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese on top to create a cheesy layer.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place the other bread slice, sauce side down, over the cheese-topped slice, pressing gently together.
- Grill the sandwich: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the pan and grill until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is melted, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve: Remove from heat, cut the sandwich in half if desired, and serve immediately while hot and gooey.
Notes
- You can add herbs like oregano or basil to the tomato sauce for extra pizza flavor.
- Use whole grain or sourdough bread for added nutrition and taste.
- Adjust the cheese quantity based on your preference for cheesiness.
- For a crispier sandwich, butter the outside of the bread before grilling.
- This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh, right out of the pan.
