Cottage cheese French toast elevates a beloved breakfast classic into a protein powerhouse, delivering 26g of protein per serving with a custardy, golden-brown exterior and a soft, rich interior. By blending cottage cheese into the classic egg dip, you create an incredibly thick, creamy coating that clings to each slice of bread and cooks up beautifully golden. This cottage cheese recipe turns ordinary French toast into something extraordinary — the cottage cheese adds protein and a subtle richness that makes each bite taste almost like a dessert. Use thick-cut bread like brioche or challah for the best results, as the sturdy slices absorb the protein-rich custard without falling apart. The batter includes vanilla, cinnamon, and a touch of maple syrup for warm, comforting flavor. These cottage cheese French toast slices are perfect for lazy weekend brunches or special occasion breakfasts. They also work beautifully for meal prep — cook them, cool completely, and freeze in a single layer. Pop them in the toaster for a quick weekday breakfast that tastes freshly made. Top with fresh berries, powdered sugar, and real maple syrup for the ultimate indulgence that happens to be loaded with protein.

4

Serve hot with fresh berries, a dusting of powdered sugar, and maple syrup.

TROUBLESHOOTING

My cottage cheese recipes are too dry

Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.

They didn't rise properly

Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.

The texture is rubbery

This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
