Creamy Protein Cheesecake with Toasted Bread Crumbs
A baked cottage cheese and Greek yogurt cheesecake finished with maple-glazed turkey bacon and buttery toasted bread crumbs for a satisfying crunch.
INGREDIENTS
0.5 cup Low-fat Cottage Cheese
0.25 cup Non-fat Greek Yogurt
1 large Egg
1.5 slices Whole Wheat Bread
1 slice Turkey Bacon
3 tablespoons Maple Syrup
1.5 tablespoons Grass-fed Butter
1 tablespoon Walnuts
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 325°F.
Place the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, egg, one tablespoon of maple syrup, and vanilla extract into a high-speed blender and process until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Pour the cheesecake batter into a lightly greased 4-inch ramekin or small springform pan.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the edges are firm and set, but the center still retains a slight jiggle.
While the cheesecake is baking, pulse the whole wheat bread in a food processor until it reaches a coarse crumb consistency.
Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat and toast the bread crumbs until they are golden brown and highly fragrant.
Pan-fry the turkey bacon until it is very crisp, then finely mince it into small bits.
In a small bowl, toss together the toasted bread crumbs, crispy bacon bits, chopped walnuts, and the remaining two tablespoons of maple syrup.
Allow the cheesecake to cool completely in the refrigerator for at least two hours before topping it with the sweet and salty bread crumb mixture.
