Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole grain bread slices
- 150 grams Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 medium Tomatoes, ripe
- 100 grams Cottage cheese, low-fat
- 2 whole Eggs
- 20 grams Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 5 pieces Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your sandwich press or a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Slice the tomatoes thinly and set aside. Chop the basil leaves finely.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Place two bread slices, buttered side down, on a clean surface or plate.
Evenly distribute the shredded cheddar cheese on the unbuttered side of these slices.
Layer the sliced tomatoes over the cheese, ensuring even coverage.
Sprinkle chopped basil on top of the tomatoes.
Pour half of the egg and cottage cheese mixture over the tomatoes on each slice.
Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
Place the sandwiches in the preheated sandwich press or skillet. Cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 4-5 minutes per side if using a skillet.
If using a skillet, gently press down with a spatula and flip once one side is browned.
Remove the sandwiches from the heat and let them cool for a minute before slicing each sandwich in half.
Serve immediately and enjoy your high protein cheese and tomato toastie!
