While the bread is toasting, thinly slice the tomato.
In a small bowl, mix the cottage cheese with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
Spread an even layer of the cottage cheese mixture on each slice of toasted bread.
Layer the tomato slices evenly over the cottage cheese on each slice.
Place the prosciutto evenly on top of the tomatoes.
Top each sandwich with a handful of arugula.
Drizzle a bit more olive oil over the top, if desired. Serve immediately.
