Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients

    Gather bread, cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla, sugar, salt, butter, water, blender, shallow dish, skillet, spatula, and plates. · 3 min

    What to look for: All ingredients are measured and tools are within reach

  2. Blend Custard

    Blend cottage cheese, eggs, water, vanilla, sugar, and salt until mostly smooth, scraping once so the mixture pours like thick cream. · 2 min

    What to look for: Custard is pale, thick, and mostly smooth with tiny curds visible

  3. Soak Bread

    Pour custard into a shallow dish and press bread into it for 45 seconds per side until coated and slightly heavy but not falling apart. · 3 min

    What to look for: Bread is evenly coated and feels heavier while still holding its shape

  4. Heat Skillet

    Heat the skillet over medium heat, add half the butter, and let it foam without browning before the bread goes in. · 2 min

    What to look for: Butter is melted, foamy, and lightly sizzling

  5. Fry First Side

    Lay 2 soaked slices in the skillet and fry until the underside is deep golden and the center looks puffed and creamy. · 3 min

    What to look for: Edges look set and the underside is deep golden

  6. Finish Toast

    Flip the slices, add remaining butter if the pan looks dry, and cook until both faces are golden and the custard is set. · 3 min

    What to look for: Both sides are golden and the middle springs back gently

  7. Serve Hot

    Serve 2 slices per plate while hot, spooning any soft custard bits from the skillet over the toast. · 1 min

    What to look for: Toast is hot, glossy with butter, and creamy in the center
