Citizen Cope and Stuffed French Toast

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.

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.
