Ingredients

2 Cups Good Culture 2% Cottage Cheese
2 Cups Low Fat Shredded Cheddar Cheese
8 Strips Thick Cut Bacon
8 Slices High Protein Bread I use Sara Lee Delightful White
2 Tbl Light Butter (or you can use I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray)
Black Pepper, Optional for Seasoning

Instructions

Whip the Cottage Cheese Place cottage cheese in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, creamy, and thick like whipped cream cheese. Set aside.
Cook the Bacon Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon until crispy, then transfer to a paper towel–lined plate. Keep strips whole.
Assemble the Sandwiches Lay out 8 slices of high-protein white bread. Spread about ½ cup whipped cottage cheese evenly over 4 slices. Place 2 strips of bacon on top of the cottage cheese. Add ⅓ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or 2 slices).Close with the remaining bread slices.
Grill the Sandwiches Lightly butter the outsides of each sandwich. (You can also use I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray) Heat a skillet or griddle to medium. Cook each sandwich for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown, crispy, and the cheddar cheese is melted and oozing.
Slice & Serve Cut sandwiches diagonally for the ultimate gooey effect. Sprinkle with black pepper if desired. Serve hot.
For the extra thick look (like cream cheese in the photo), chill the whipped cottage cheese for 10–15 minutes before spreading. This helps it hold its shape inside the sandwich while still pairing beautifully with the melted cheddar.
