Description

A quick and delicious cheesy grilled sandwich made with creamy cottage or ricotta cheese, perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside. Ideal for a comforting meal any time of day.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices of bread (your choice)
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese or ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  4. Add salt, pepper, and any optional herbs or veggies you like.
  5. Close the sandwich with the other bread slice, buttered side out.
