Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter for spreading and flavor
- 2 slices whole-grain or gluten-free bread the base of your sandwich

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Slice the Roma tomato and cucumber, and mash the avocado in a small bowl if you prefer it that way.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the slices of bread and toast them until they are golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the skillet and spread the mashed avocado evenly over one side of each slice.
- On top of the avocado, add the cottage cheese, spreading it out evenly to cover the bread.
- Next, place the sliced tomatoes and cucumbers on one of the slices. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the vegetables for extra flavor.
- Carefully place the other slice of bread on top, avocado side down, to create your sandwich.
- Cut the sandwich in half if desired, plate it up, and dig in! Enjoy the burst of flavors and textures in every bite.
Notes
- Feel free to swap out cottage cheese for a plant-based alternative for a vegan version.
- Use gluten-free bread to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- For a low-carb option, consider using lettuce wraps instead of bread.
