Ingredients

  • Cottage Cheese Filling:

    • 250 g Cottage Cheese
    • 30 g Dried Figs, diced
    • 30 g Unsalted Pumpkin Seeds
    • 10 mL Honey

    • Garnish:

      • Icing Sugar, for dusting
      • Maple Syrup, for drizzling

    • Directions

    1. Purée the Cottage Cheese, egg, 2% 18 G Protein Beverage, cinnamon, and vanilla until smooth.
    2. Pour the batter into a shallow dish and soak the brioche slices for at least 5 minutes, allowing them to absorb the mixture.
    3. Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly coat with avocado oil.
    4. Remove the brioche from the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off, then cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
    5. In a bowl, combine the Cottage Cheese, honey, dried figs, and half of the pumpkin seeds.
    6. Place one slice of French toast on a serving plate and spread with the Cottage Cheese filling. Top with the second slice to create a sandwich. Cut in half diagonally and dust with icing sugar.
    7. Garnish with the remaining pumpkin seeds and dried figs, then finish with a light drizzle of maple syrup. Serve immediately.
