Baked French Toast

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup cottage cheese
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 4 slices thick sliced bread of your choice
• 1 Tablespoon butter for greasing the dish
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• (Serves 2)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425.
2. Have ready a heat proof baking dish large enough to hold the 4 pieces of bread without stacking them.
3. In a food processor or blender, blend the cottage cheese, milk, sugar, egg, egg white, and vanilla for about 1 minute or until smooth.
4. Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish, place the bread pieces in, and let stand for 10 minutes, absorbing the mixture.
5. Place the empty baking dish into the preheated oven for about 5 minutes to heat the dish.
6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven,and use a pastry brush to paint 1 tablespoon of butter onto the hot surface. Place the soaked bread on it, and bake for 6 minutes.
7. Turn the bread over and bake 5 to 6 minutes longer or until golden brown.
8. Sprinkle the grated cheese onto the cooked french toast and return to the oven a few more minutes until the cheese has melted and is golden brown.
9. Serve with a green salad, tomatoes and a little freshly ground pepper.
10. Serve with no sugar added jam.
