Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole-grain bread
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 1 large Tomato
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Arugula (optional)
Instructions
Toast the whole-grain bread slices in a toaster or on a pan until golden brown and slightly crisp.
While the bread is toasting, prepare the tomato by slicing it into thin, even rounds.
In a small bowl, combine the cottage cheese with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Once the bread slices are toasted, drizzle a small amount of olive oil over one side of each slice for added flavor.
Spread about two tablespoons of the seasoned cottage cheese onto two of the bread slices, creating a thick, even layer.
Layer the tomato slices on top of the cottage cheese. Divide them evenly between the two sandwiches.
Place three basil leaves on top of the tomatoes for each sandwich. For an optional twist, add a handful of arugula for extra greens and a peppery bite.
Top each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, olive oil side facing inward to seal in the flavor.
Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally (optional) and serve immediately. Enjoy your Awesome Cottage Cheese Tomato Sandwich!
