Mini French Toast with Cottage Cheese and Peach

Foodiest!

So for the past three weeks I have been working at this Gourmet Sandwich Shoppe down at Korean Town called Sky Blue Sky ( 605 Bloor St. West Toronto). I just want to pass around good words of this place! The sandwiches are amazing to the max!The owner ( which is my boss, Chad) is an awesome cook. He makes the best cream cheese and cranberry bread, and other soft hearty breads such as lemon zest,and pepper jack! Ah... Its really tempting to eat those bread everyday. Few days ago I brought home some day old Pepper jack bread crumbs. A breakfast full of bread could be heavy on carbohydrate. I have been munching more protein lately, to keep up with my physical transformation goal. So, I thought a French toast with more flavor than just bread will be an awesome recipe to share with you this time.

So basically instead of using slab of breads, I cut out the pieces and marinate them with eggs ( mostly egg white) and cottage cheese, a little salt, pepper and paprika. Once the bread is soaked in egg, it is cooked just like how you make regular French toast. Once done, I drizzle the mini french bread with honey and some fresh peach. It was phenomenal!
Here is the recipe for the detail hows:
Yield: 2 servings of breakfast
* 2 egg whole eggs and 4 egg whites
* 3/4 cup of cut day old breads
* 4 tbsp of 1% cottage cheese
* salt, honey, pepper, paprika to taste
* fresh diced peach or nectarines
* spray of spam vegetable oil/ olive oil

1.First whip the egg white and yolks, add the seasoning and cottage cheese to the mixture.
2. Add in the cut day old breads and let them soak to absorb the moist.
3. Heat the pans with a spray of oil/ olive oil, fry the mixture like you would fry an omelete.
4.Once done drizzle with honey and diced peach or nectarines.

You can always experiment to add/ leave the ingredients to your liking. I find the nectarines/ peach compliments the taste of the the cheese and honey.
I love how this recipe can be assemble in less than 5 minutes, and it tasted mighty delicious!
Hope you will try it sometime!
