Categories: Magazine, Sandwich, Cheese
Yield: 2 servings

4 sl Bread; your favorite
2 Eggs
1 c Milk
2 pn Salt
5 tb Cottage cheese; well drained
pn Cinnamon
1 ts Sugar
1/2 ts Vanilla extract

-------------------------GARNISHES-------------------------
Cinnamon sugar
Sour cream; reg or low fat
Strawberries; cut up

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.
