Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • 1/4 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 slices high-protein bread
  • 1 tbsp butter or avocado oil

Method
 

  1. Blend the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, Dijon, salt, and pepper until completely smooth. Fold in the cheddar and mozzarella.
  2. Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. Spoon the cheese mixture onto the unbuttered side of one slice, top with the second slice, buttered side out.
  3. Cook in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until golden and the cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  4. Let rest 1 minute, then slice diagonally and serve hot.

Notes

If you don’t have high-protein bread, the sandwich will still be creamy and delicious but lower in protein. For an even crispier crust, sprinkle a little finely grated Parmesan onto the buttered bread before grilling.
