Croque Monsieur

 This recipe is in the "Spread a little Joy" cookbook from Philadelphia Cream Cheese.  I just changed it a little.  (Thanks to Faith- N- Neil for letting me know about the book at Stracks!)

 Ingredients:
2 Slices of Wheat French Bread
2 Tbsp. Philadelphia Cream Cheese
4 Thin sliced Black forest Ham Slices
2 Swiss Cheese slices torn to fit onto the bread
A couple dashes of Oregano, or whatever spice you like

 Spread Cream cheese over each slice. Dash with Oregano. Layer the Ham and Swiss Cheese.  I tossed some pepper on top too.

 Broil 30 seconds or until cheese is melted.  Deeelish!!

Now put that on top of your cottage cheese in your pie plate.
