We decided to have a light lunch today – light in terms of preparation time, cooking time and overall effort. 
My cooking is rarely light on calories.

Loved The Grilled Cottage cheese on toast. Just gorged on twin toasts
What a marvelous picture photo and recipe
This seems almost like an anglicized version of the italian capreze salad, which is tomato, fresh basil, and fresh mozzarella on toasted bread. This sounds delicious and I can’t wait to try it. Thanks!
@Tom: Now that you mention it, yes, it does seem like a variation of the insalata caprese. do let us know how it turns out. a photo would be cool!

Sid,
this looks delicious, pretty extravagent for a “light” lunch haha. Have you tried it with any other cheeses besides Cottage? Let me know if you do and how it goes!
@Wisconsin Cheese: Yup, it was perhaps a bit OTT for a ‘light’ lunch, but then I did say ‘light’ and not ‘tedius’.
WOW! I tried out this recipe….really good, and you are right, light on time, but not on calories! I had to use canned chillis but that worked out fine
Thanks for this
@Mary Lane: Glad you liked it!
Oooh , very nice , this is a nice piece of comfort you have here , it’s simple yet tasty and very light.
This will be a welcome snack after a hard days work where your stressed out and in need of something to
help you relax and get your mind of the harsh realities of life.
