Supermodel Sandwich (Bethenny Frankel Snack)

SUPERMODEL SANDWICH

We’re calling this a “sandwich,” but let’s be real — there’s no bread in sight. 

Bethenny Frankel’s Supermodel Sandwich is more of a tomato cottage cheese stack situation… and somehow, it works. It’s crunchy, salty, creamy, and weirdly filling. This viral combo has been all over TikTok, and once you try it, you’ll get why.

It’s basically layers of thick tomato slices, creamy cottage cheese, deli turkey, and a heavy-handed sprinkle of everything but the bagel seasoning. 

That’s it. Four ingredients. No cooking. No fuss. Just a high-protein snack you can stack in under a minute that tastes way better than it should.

SIMPLE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE SUPERMODEL SANDWICH RECIPE

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make this easy snack recipe (the exact measurements, nutritional information and full instructions are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post):

• Tomato Slices – Use big, juicy ones like beefsteak or heirloom. They’re the “bread” here, so thicker is better.
• Cottage Cheese – Adds creaminess and a protein boost. Go full-fat for the best flavor, or low-fat if you prefer.
• Deli Turkey – Lean, salty, and stacks beautifully. You can also use deli chicken or even ham if you’re wild like that.
• Everything But the Bagel Seasoning – The not-so-secret ingredient. Adds garlic, onion, sesame, and salt for that deli-sandwich vibe without needing bread.

HOW TO MAKE THE VIRAL SUPERMODEL SNACK

1. Slice a large tomato into thick rounds and lay them out on a plate.

2. Spoon a little cottage cheese onto each tomato slice.

3. Fold or layer a few slices of deli turkey on top.

4. Sprinkle generously with everything but the bagel seasoning.

5. Stack it up or eat it open-faced — whatever feels right. Dig in!

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR BEST RESULTS

• Pat your tomato slices dry with paper towel so it doesn’t get too watery.

• Use cold ingredients for the ultimate refreshing bite.

• Add some avocado or hot sauce if you wanna remix it.

• Don’t skimp on the seasoning — that’s where the magic happens.

STORING LEFTOVER SUPERMODEL SANDWICH

This one’s best made fresh — sliced tomatoes don’t store well once topped. But you can prep the ingredients separately and assemble when ready to snack.

FAQS

ARE THESE SANDWICHES ACTUALLY FILLING?

Surprisingly, yes. Thanks to the high protein from the cottage cheese and turkey, it’s light but satisfying — perfect for a mid-day snack or lunch.

CAN I MAKE THE SUPERMODEL SNACK DAIRY-FREE?

Swap the cottage cheese for hummus or mashed avocado for a dairy-free twist. Totally changes the vibe but still delish.

HOW MUCH PROTEIN IS IN THIS SUPERMODEL SNACK?

Depends on how much turkey and cottage cheese you use, but one stack can easily pack 20+ grams of protein.

CAN I TURN THIS SUPERMODEL SANDWICH INTO A FULL MEAL?

For sure! Add more layers, serve it with a hard-boiled egg or side salad, or stack it between two rice cakes if you want some crunch.
