🛒 Ingredients
Makes 2 servings of bread
For the Cottage Cheese Bread
• 8 oz cottage cheese
• 2 eggs
• Small handful fresh cilantro
• 1 garlic clove
• Avocado oil spray
For the Creamy Mayo-Yogurt Spread
• 1 tbsp mayonnaise
• 4 tbsp yogurt
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• A couple pinches salt

For the Sandwich

👩🍳 Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Add the cottage cheese, eggs, cilantro, and garlic to a small food processor and blend until well combined.
3. Line a small baking tray with parchment paper and lightly spray with avocado oil.
4. Pour in the cottage cheese mixture and spread it into an even layer with a spatula.
5. Bake for 35–40 minutes, keeping an eye on it since oven times can vary.
6. Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool completely before cutting it into your preferred sandwich-sized pieces.
7. Mix the mayonnaise, yogurt, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to make the creamy spread.
8. Assemble the sandwich with the cottage cheese bread, about 2 tbsp of the spread, tomato, avocado, romaine, red onion, and ham or your protein of choice.
9. Top with another piece of cottage cheese bread and enjoy.
💡 Pro Tip: Let the cottage cheese bread cool completely before slicing or assembling—the cooling time helps it firm up and hold together much better as sandwich bread.
