Ingredients
  

Main Dish
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 tbsp parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp everything seasoning
  • 1 tbsp butter unsalted
  • 2 slices bread

Method
 

Assembly and Cooking
  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, grated parmesan, shredded mozzarella, paprika, and everything seasoning.
  2. Spread the softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
  3. Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, into a cold skillet or griddle.
  4. Spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly over the bread in the pan.
  5. Place the second slice of bread on top, butter-side facing up.
  6. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
  7. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is warm.

Notes

Keep the heat on medium-low to ensure the bread toasts without burning.
Wait for a deep golden crust before flipping to ensure the sandwich holds together.
Drain excess liquid from your cottage cheese before mixing to keep your bread crispy.
