→ Other Ingredients
09 -
1 teaspoon olive oil or canola oil
10 -
10 to 14 slices sandwich bread
11 -
28 grams butter, softened (approximately 2 tablespoons)
# Instructions:
01 -
If using large curd cottage cheese, blend until mostly smooth for a creamier texture.
02 -
In a mixing bowl, combine cottage or ricotta cheese with olive oil. Add minced garlic, basil, oregano, salt, black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese, mixing thoroughly. Fold in shredded mozzarella to create a uniform filling.
03 -
Evenly spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice.
04 -
Place half of the bread slices, buttered side down, on a skillet or griddle. Divide cheese mixture evenly among these slices, ensuring an even layer. Top with remaining bread, buttered side up.
05 -
Cook over medium heat until the underside is golden brown. Flip each sandwich and continue to cook until both sides are golden and cheese filling is fully melted.
# Notes:
01 -
For deeper flavour, prepare the cheese mixture several hours in advance and refrigerate until needed.
02 -
Do not overfill the sandwiches to ensure easy handling after the cheese melts.
03 -
Leftovers are best reheated in a lightly buttered skillet over low heat; flip halfway for even crisping.
04 -
You may substitute 0.25 teaspoon granulated garlic for fresh garlic if necessary.
