🍅 Why You’ll Love This Sandwich
Trust me when I’ve said I’ve made a lot of different types of sandwiches on this site, including this Grinder Salad Sandwich Tiktok, Viral 3 Ingredient Avocado Bread, or Viral Cottage Cheese Flatbread (3 Ways!)
- No bread needed – tomato slices are the “bun”
- High-protein & low carb – great for WW, low-carb, or light eating
- Bold flavor – creamy cottage cheese + zippy mustard = ✨
- Perfect summer snack – juicy, refreshing, and zero cooking involved
It’s weirdly satisfying and gives deli sandwich vibes with zero heaviness. Bethenny wasn’t playing when she called this a “go-to.”
🛒 Ingredients Needed for the Tomato Sandwich
- 1 large tomato – thickly sliced into “bread” rounds
- ¼ cup low-fat or regular cottage cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional add-ins: sliced turkey, sprouts, fresh basil, or red onion
✅ Substitution Tips:
- Use vegan cottage cheese or whipped tofu spread for dairy-free
- Swap Dijon for spicy brown or honey mustard
- Add a slice of avocado or turkey for extra satiety
- Use heirloom tomatoes for max flavor + size
🥪 How to Make Bethenny Frankel’s Tomato Sandwich
Step 1 Slice your tomato into thick ½-inch rounds. Pat dry with paper towels to reduce slip + sogginess.

Step 2 In a small bowl, mix cottage cheese + Dijon mustard until creamy.

Step 3 Spread mixture onto one tomato slice, season with salt + pepper.
Step 4 Add optional toppings if using, then top with the second tomato slice. Serve immediately with a napkin (it’s juicy in the best way).

🧠 Pro Tip: This is not your “eat while driving” kind of sandwich — it’s messy, drippy, and worth every bite.
