Citizen Cope and Stuffed French Toast

Great recipe – thanks for sharing!

I’ll def be giving this French toast a go this weekend!

Good post!

I got to you through John B., so I already have the books and have made this breakfast many times – it’s great! Come on people, try it!

Great recipe Joel. Im actually doing a fundrasier for my school district and creating a healthy recipe book. My intention is to get as many people on board with clean eating and fitness. I figure as an educator, I am in a prime position to help our children and parents lead productive lives.

With your permission, I would like to submit this recipe as well.

Thanks, Jamie

Great recipe, will try it this weekend. I would suggest using STEVIA instead of chemical sugars.
Keep up the good work.

This recipe is SOLID!

I am going to try this for supper this evening!

I was told once by someone who worked at GNC, that when you cook Protein powder, the protein disappears. I take it that you do not believe that.

Yeah, and when you cook meat, eggs, cheese, wheat, oats, and beans all the protein goes away, too!

Obviously, that was sarcastic.

LOVE this recipe! Think it will be my new Sunday Breakfast! Thanks!

Awesome recipe…just tried it.

Will you post more recipes like this from time to time??

-D

Well I guess I’ll have to try my cooking skills ;)

Oh yay – making it pronto!!!

This sounds great – will try soon!!!

I’m looking forward to trying this recipe once I can go shopping to get the few items I don’t have. I love French toast, & if I can have it in a healthy way, all the better. Thanks for posting it! :)

Oh, i just wish i could find all of those ingredients here in Italy.

Fun new twist Joel, A healthy thought for you to consider…why not replace Splenda with a natural sweetener like stevia? Just a thought :)

i’ll definitely give it a try – seems delicious

Hi Joel,

You lost me when you mentioned Splenda…. KC has the right idea, stick to “naturals”.

Vic

Ooooh… really awesome – I absolutely LOVE french toast… but I tend to make to much THEN finish whatever I made THEN have that overpowering feeling of the “second or third round munchy attack”. I just LOVE to eat. Chips, fruit, cereal, chocolate, lightly grilled slices of meat ¬ I could eat them all day; the healthy and the ‘bad’. Argh! But keep those recipes coming! Might as well learn to put the ‘good’ on the ‘bad’ =\

strange recipe, like always, but will definitely give it a try as you never dissapointed me in the past with your ‘funny/strange’ recipes

Just downloaded “Lifeline” — AWESOME song…I’ve got it on replay now :)

Think I’m going to have to check out this Citizen Cope guy…

Hi Joel.

Great recipe. I am desperately needing your help. I need to loose body fat and weight as in yesterday. What is your best Ideal eating plan….. I am 1.45m short and weight 62kgs. this puts me in over-weight cateroy for BMI. Pls assist…. I do think my weakness is dining out with friends but it’s x2 a month only?

i think i will like to give your recipe a trial, although some of these ingredients has to be sort for, it is not common in the local market. i hope it will be a ravishing taste on trial, hope to hear from you and hey, thanks for the recipe.

Great stuff – thanks

Will serve this weekend for kids – ha ha ha
the believe dad only know how to make delicious – Take-Out meals

This is going to knock their socks !!! ;-)

Fantastic recipe ! simply the best!

hi joel, this recipe sounds great. haven’t tried it yet but hopefully will soon.

i wanted to ask you about tofu….is that low carb? it’s just that i am never sure. different sites seem to say different things about tofu…some say it’s high carb and others say it’s low carb. i’m totally confused. the reason i’m asking is that i have a GREAT recipe involving tofu and will share it if it’s low carb…

your feedback on this is appreciated.

regards

For those with milk allergy or intolerance: chick peas (garbanzos) or kidney beans mashed instead of cottage cheese, hemp protein or powdered egg protein instead of whey protein, soy or rice milk instead of milk. I added a teaspoon of maple syrup instead of Splenda (i’m with Vic in stick to naturals).

Citizen Cope sounds great, check out http://www.myspace.com/robincasinader too….

I meant to say that it’s quite yummy and very substantial! Thanks Joel!

Sounds great Joel, by the way thanks for the link to Holosync it’s awesome

Cool, its fast, yummie and healthy! Its a great!

Things like nonfat cottage cheese and splenda/stevia are non-existent here in Spain which leaves me with a big problem!
Anyway since you like bands check these guys out – you have to listen to the lyrics -awesome. http://www.feldsparmusic.co.uk/

Can’t wait to try that one in the morning. French toast is my favourite. Will let you know how it goes! thanks

Hi! Impossible to find cottage cheese here in France (ironic, huh?) – can it be replaced?

Sounds delicious cant wait to try it but in aggreement with some of the other comments I can not agree with it being a totally healthy recipe if it allows the use of splenda there are much nicer better for you natural sweetners – stevia agave syrup raw honey etc will try mine with one of those. Thanks look forward to more great recipe ideas keep them coming!

Gonna make this for the kids for dinner tonight!

the recipe sounds lovely and, surprisingly perhaps, i have heard of citizen cope and i love them!!!!

Hi, Joel –

That French toast recipe looks wonderful. But I gave up bread several months ago, and I am so enjoying the un-weighed-down feeling that comes from eating breads and other heavy foods that I don’t want to take them up again.

Got something else for you and your readers, though. I just found a low-carb recipe list that is hands-down the best I’ve ever seen on the web. Just from the list of recipes starting with S, fabulous-sounding goodies like: Saffron and Lemon Butter Chicken with Pine Nut Couscous, Salad of Baby Spinach, Crab, Tomato and Creme Fraiche, Salmon & Horseradish on Toasted Baguette, Fig-Strawberry Preserves, Sauteed Black Sea Bass w/Port Beurre Blanc.

Can’t swear they’re all heart healthy or actually low-carb. I saw words like Bread, Doughnuts, and even Fudge in there. But I know where I’ll be spending my browsing time for the next duration.

It’s here: http://www.low-carb-recipes.ws/group_5361.html

Sounds tasty!

Hey Joel,

In regards to the cottage cheese…do you use the kind you can buy in a tub (i.e. with some liquid still in it)….or do you use pressed cottage cheese?

Thanks!

I will give it a try as for the band I have never heard of them

Nice recipe but better than that is the shout out to Citizen Cope. My favorite band. They are nasty =)

Nice one, sounds good so far. I’ll give it a try.

Joel,

The recipe looks awesome. I’m going to try it the original “stuffed” way you have it written and also mix it up a little and see if I can make it the “traditional” way.

My wife makes some tasty pancakes using cottage cheese, whole eggs, whole oats and cinnamon. They taste great and are high in protein. I’ll have to dig up the recipe and see if I can get it over to you.

Thanks for the recipe!

Wishing you health & happiness,

Pete

I’m confused about how the filling stays in the pocket when you cook each side of the toast. Help! :-)

Hey, sounds good, but with all your talk about health – why would you even use Splenda? It is chemically altered and not good for your immune system….hmmm.

Sounds promising…I’m not into cottage cheese, but maybe blended and mixed with other stuff it might not be too bad. I’m with the others when it comes to natural sweeteners…maybe honey?
After Midnight Project’s album Let’s Build Something to Break is great. They were an opening act to a Shinedown concert I went to…really enjoyed them and bought their CD there.
Keep the recipes coming!

Sounds delicious, the only thing I would alter is have stevia instead of splenda because I have a vendetta against artificial sweeteners. Otherwise sounds marvelous.

Obviously, that was sarcastic.

Proteins, to some extent, are denatured by heat and air (among other things). That is one of its properties.

Myself, I’ll be skipping the Splenda, too.

Recipe looks delicious. Is there a low-gluten alternative?

Sounds great for me but my wife has issues. She has a alergy to all milk products. That leave out several of the products in this recipe. Do you ever do tasty recipies for people with the common milk alergy problems.

Excited to try this out. I’m all over healthy and need some good recipes. I do however agree with Vic and Christine. No splenda, natural ONLY! Thanks!

Sounds amazing but I am having trouble visualizing how to fold the bread Into a pocket without it falling apart. Could you expound on that step? I’d the bread still folded when you dip it into the egg?

This sounds great, but…..cottage cheese is one of those foods that absolutely makes me gag. I cannot keep it in my mouth. Is there something else that would work in place of the cottage cheese? Something with the same consistency I guess. (I don’t care much for sour cream either.)

I wish I weren’t such a picky eater, but it is what it is.

Diane

Everything sounds good BUT you lost me with the splenda. Not a healthy choice. You should change it to Stevia.

What is the purpose of the rolled oats on top of the soggy bread? I would think they would tend to burn in the frying pan…

Sounds wonderful. French toast used to be my favorite. Maybe it will be again.

Hi Joel,
Interesting recipe, I will have to try it – and soon. At the moment I am missing new ideas for breakfast to replace my usual oatmeal. Actually I am missing ideas for breakfast on low carb days, because I am trying out the cheatyourwaythin diet. Due to the grain and the oats in this recipe I gather it will not do on low carb days..??
Do you guys have any alternative suggestions for me? It is difficult to replace something as simple as oatmeal in the morning, when time is short, especially when you want to feel full in a good way for 3 hours at least until the first healthy snacktime before lunch. :)

Hi Joel,
I’m English and sometimes have problems with the American ingredients etc. could you elabourate on what “Splenda” is?
Oh and I’m assuming a “skillet” is some sort of pan for cooking!

You asked if anyone could recommend a good band! Here’s a great new band from England, known as “CutBack” and have just released their single for download, go here for more details http://www.cutback.co.uk/
Thanks in anticipation.
Best regards, Gary.

I LOVE Citizen Cope! I’ll have to check out his latest. I think I’ll try the toast on Sunday, my usual cheat day.

sounds great, but one huge issue. SPLENDA? If we are all about our health here, then lets stop using junk chemicals designed to make ” Big Food, INC” rich. Splenda is deadly, not even thoroughly tested, with nasty chemical reactions in the human body. Use good old raw sugar if you must ,or even raw honey, but the BEST option is of course, STEVIA. Safe or everyone, even and sepecially diabetics. It comes in liquid or powder, and can be used just like all that other laboratory crap, is natural, from the earth, has no effect on insulin levels. Contains fiber, too. Let’s get wise, and get healthy.
On a side note, celiacs, or gluten intolerant people can also substitue Ezekial bread–sprout grain- for the bread. Be careful of most sprouted breads-most contain gluten. Ezekiel is your best choice. There. Now, eat!

Joel another good up and coming artist to check out that you probably never heard of is Brantley Gilbert….Very good songs….I like them all and you can go to youtube and listen to them!!!! Recommend ASAP

Almond milk is also another excellent substitute for the regular milk. Also Ezekiel bread for the whole wheat might be a nice twist as well. I’m definitely going to try this this weekend!

Thanks Joel! Looking forward to more recipes!

This is fabulous, it has all of the best breakfast ingredients in one,
and defnitely kept me going all morning with that

Great music man and recipe, soo tasty!!!!

Joel, thanks for the rockin’ recipe.

I have read alot of bad things about stevia……….what’s your take on it?

My mouth is already watering…can’t wait for my Sunday brunch to try this out. Just leave it to you to find a way to have something that feels like you’re cheating, but is actually good for you :) Thanks, Joel!!!

I will definitely try this. Not sure I quite understand what you mean when you say “create a pocket”. Do you mean to put 2 pieces of bread together with the ingredients in the middle?

Hmm, pretty creative.
