Servings: 1
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 medium eggs
- 3 Tbsp low fat cottage cheese
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp maple syrup or sweetener or choice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- butter or cooking spray for cooking
- 3 slices thin-sliced whole wheat bread
To Serve
- maple syrup
- other toppings: Greek yogurt, berries, sliced fruit, butter, nut butter
Instructions
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- While the pan is heating, add eggs, cottage cheese, cinnamon, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt to a blender. Blend until smooth, about 15-20 seconds. Pour into a shallow bowl or baking dish and set aside.
- When the pan is fully heated, coat with a thin, even layer of butter or cooking spray.
- Working quickly, add a slice of bread to the egg mixture. Gently press down with your fingers so the bread absorbs some liquid. Flip and repeat on the second side, until both sides are coated and slightly soaked. Let the bread sit in the egg mixture for 1-2 minutes if needed. Transfer to the buttered pan.
- Cook your high protein toast for 2-3 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown. Flip, and cook the second side until it's golden brown and crisp.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 on remaining slices of bread. Add more butter to the pan as needed.
- Transfer to a plate and top with maple syrup and other toppings as desired. Enjoy!
