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

Instructions

  1. Slice bread into 1-inch thick slices, about 10 pieces

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

Recipe Notes

I get my French bread loaf in the bakery section of my local store, and it's not the super skinny long kind. Those are better for a bruschetta recipe. You want a "thicker" softer loaf.
