Prep Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 15 mins Total Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• 0.6 c. cottage cheese or ricotta cheese
• 1.2 tsp. olive or canola oil
• 1.2 clove garlic, minced
• 1.2 tsp. dried basil
• 0.6 tsp. dried oregano
• 0.3 tsp. salt
• 0.08 tsp. pepper (if you like pepper, go ahead and add 1/8 tsp.)
• 0.3 c. Parmesan cheese
• 9.6 oz. Kraft Natural Mozzarella shredded cheese (2 cups)
• 12 to 16.8 slices of bread (depends on how big your bread is)
• butter softened (about 2 tbsp)

Instructions

• If using large curd cottage cheese, blend until mostly smooth.
• Combine cottage or ricotta cheese with olive oil.
• Add garlic, basil, oregano, salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese; mix well.
• Add Mozzarella cheese and combine thoroughly.*
• Lightly butter each slice of bread.  Place half of the slices, buttered side down in a skillet or griddle.
• Divide cheese mixture evenly between the slices in the skillet.**  Top with remaining slices of bread, making sure to leave the buttered side up.
• Cook over medium heat until bread is lightly browned.  Flip, and cook remaining side until lightly brown and cheese is melted.

Notes

* If you have time, for a fuller flavor, mix up the cheese part several hours ahead of time.** You want the cheese mixture to nicely cover the surface of the bread, but don’t pile it too high, because you’ll end up having a hard time keeping the sandwiches together once the cheese melts.
