4 slice bread, your favorite
2 eggs
1 cup milk
2 pinch salt
5 tbsp cottage cheese, well drained
1 pinch cinnamon
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
GARNISHES
1 cinnamon sugar
1 sour cream, reg or low fat
1 strawberries, cut up
Directions
1. Cut each slice of bread in half. Beat eggs with milk and pinch of
salt. In separate bowl, mash cheese until smooth with another pinch
of salt, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla, adjusting to taste. Spread
one-fourth of cheese filling evenly over four slices of bread. Top
with unspread slices of bread to form half-sandwiches.
2. Gently dip and soak each sandwich in egg-milk mixture, turning so
both sides of each sandwich absorb liquid. Let excess drip off.
3. Heat unsalted butter in 10- inch skillet, and when hot but not
brown, add sandwiches. Reduce heat and fry slowly for 5 to 7 minutes,
or until first side is golden. Turn and brown second side over low
heat. If sandwiches fry too quickly, filling will not be warm.
4. Serve immediately, allowing 2 halves to each portion. Sprinkle with
cinnamon-sugar and top with sour cream and strawberries, or pass all
at the table.

The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked back into history, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are a couple of interesting books published in the 1300s ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they have no connection with the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the tables of the upper classes of the period. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the holy land, including spices such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to an explosion in recipe manuscripts, some of which are kept safe in private collections. The TV revolution brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our site. |
We hope you enjoy this Mimi's French Toasted Cottage Cheese Sandwich recipe.
