French Toast with Berries and Cottage Cheese:
When it comes to french toast, it’s all about the bread. For my family I use a thick and hearty flaxseed Ciabatta or a nice artisan bread for this recipe. For my self I use a Gluten Free Sourdough from New Grains GF Bakery. They offer free shipping on orders over $48. I buy a bunch and freeze it, using it as I beed it.
The Toppings:
I top this simple French toast with creamy cottage cheese fresh berries, but mascarpone, cream cheese, or ricotta work great too! You can use any berry you wish or use assorted berries, then drizzle with real maple syrup!

Mmm…. I love french toast! That looks delicious! I read a really good tip for french toast once that I always use—leave the bread out over night to dry out or toast it in the toaster before you put it in the egg mixture and then it doesn’t come out soggy! I bet that’s how french toast was originally invented—to use up dry bread. It’s just a theory I’ve been working on! ;0)
Amber that is an excellent tip for fluffy breads that would absorb the egg/almond milk mixture but this bread is so dense and hardy and I slice it so thick, it definitely does not get soggy!
My birthday is on Monday and I was struggling whether or not to have Loi take me out for breakfast- French toast is my favorite and I wanted to indulge on my day. Then I remembered you had posted this and came over to check it out. I think I’ll go this route instead! It looks so good but also much healthier. Thanks Linda!
