Ingredients
- 4 slices whole grain bread
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup cottage cheese
- 4 slices sliced turkey breast
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon dried oregano
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the cottage cheese, plain Greek yogurt, black pepper, and dried oregano to create a creamy, protein-rich spread.
Step 2
Lay out the slices of whole grain bread. Spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly on all slices, ensuring each slice is fully covered.
Step 3
On two slices of bread, layer two slices of sharp cheddar cheese and two slices of turkey breast evenly on top of the spread.
Step 4
Top each layered bread slice with the remaining bread slices, creating sandwiches.
Step 5
In a frying pan, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 6
Once the butter has melted, place one sandwich in the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, gently pressing down with a spatula.
Step 7
Flip the sandwich and add another tablespoon of butter to the pan, if needed. Cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Step 8
Repeat the steps with the second sandwich.
Step 9
Remove the sandwiches from the pan and let them cool slightly. Slice diagonally and serve hot.
