Found in fridge: waning baguette, cottage cheese, jar of roasted red peppers, one sad tomato. You know, ricotta gets all the glory, but cottage cheese, drained and mashed a bit, is really the same thing when it comes to recipes.
Ingredients:
Half jar roasted red peppers
Basil
Tomatoes, grilled as here
Baguette
Cottage cheese

Cottage cheese
Instructions:
Drain and mash your cottage cheese until it looks like ricotta. Toast your bread as you like. A lower fat option is to toast it, but I like Julia Child's way -- grill it in olive oil! Put your grilled tomatoes, red peppers and basil in a food processor and pulse it up. You just want to get it spreadable, but still have the individual ingredients show themselves. Layer your bread with cottage cheese and then tomato/basil/pepper mixture. Devour.
