Ingredients
- 1 small French bread loaf
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- 1/2 cup Old Home Foods Cottage Cheese
- 1 tsp minced garlic, about 1 clove
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- Chopped parsley for garnish
- Marinara for dipping
Directions
- Slice bread into 1-inch-thick slices, about 10 pieces
- Dip each slice into melted butter on one side, if there’s enough left, use the rest for the other side of bread. Set aside. Preheat a grill (if using) to about 400°. If not using a grill, use the oven broil setting when ready.
- In a food processor or blender, combine the cottage cheese and garlic until smooth. Add into a small bowl and stir in Italian seasoning. Set aside.
- Place buttered bread slices onto grill (if broiling, place under broiler and watch closely for browning, then remove).
- Grill on both sides until browned and toasty. Highly recommend grilling, adds a great char flavor. Remove onto a sheet pan.
- Spread the whipped cottage cheese evenly onto each slice. Top with shredded mozzarella. Place under broiler to melt and slightly brown cheese on top.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with warm marinara.
