Cottage Cheese Garlic Bread is a simple, cheesy, and delicious side dish that pairs perfectly with soups, pasta, or even as a snack on its own. This recipe is all about combining creamy cottage cheese, fresh garlic, and herbs to make a flavorful topping for bread slices, then baking them until golden and bubbly.
Unlike regular garlic bread made with butter, this version uses cottage cheese, making it higher in protein and slightly lighter. It’s a perfect option for anyone looking for a healthier alternative without missing out on flavor.
