High-Protein French Toast: 5 Versions with 30–40 g Protein
French toast – arme Ritter in German – is usually bread fried in egg and butter. Add quark to the egg mix and skyr on top, and two slices bring 30–40 g protein.
Base (1 plate): Whisk 2 eggs, 50 g quark, a splash of milk, cinnamon and vanilla. Soak 2 slices of wholegrain or protein bread, fry in a lightly oiled pan 2–3 minutes per side. Top with 100 g skyr and fruit.
