Yet another quick high protein meal. :)
This one is pretty "hard" to prepare so make sure you're ready!
For this high protein breakfast you will need:
- 100g of cottage cheese (you could use feta or sirene, i haven't tried this recipe with feta but I've been told that it's good).
- 1 egg (preferably big)
- 3-4 slices of bread
Optional:
- Butter/margarine
- Red pepper
- Summer savory
- Any other type of cheese you like.
Step by step guide:
- Put the cheese and the egg into a bowl.
- Keep adding cheese until the mixture is somewhat dense (dense enough so it doesn't spill off the bread).
- Stir until the egg and the cheese are nicely mixed.
- Smear a very small amount of butter/margarine on the slices of bread.
- Put the slices of bread in a baking pan.
- Using a spoon pour the mixture on the bread, it should be enough for 3 or 4 slices depending on their size.
- Sprinkle a very little amount of your favorite cheese on top of the mixture (no more than a few grams) I personally use Kashkaval or Kraft Singles.
- Put em' in the oven for about 10 minutes at 250°C top&bottom.
- After they're done you can add seasonings of your choice I personally add a little bit of red pepper, summer savory and ketchup.
- Enjoy!
