Low Fat French Toast

Low Fat French Toast

Fiona Haynes
French toast is one of my favorite weekend breakfast treats. If you're concerned about fat and cholesterol, use egg substitute or a combination of eggs and egg whites in place of whole eggs.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 8 minutes

Total Time: 13 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 8 slices of day-old sliced whole grain bread
  • 1/2 cup egg substitute (equivalent to 2 eggs)
  • 3/4 cup nonfat milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Preparation:

Combine egg substitute, milk, vanilla and cinnamon in a wide bowl or dish. Dip bread in egg mixture ensuring both sides are soaked. Heat griddle or nonstick skillet, sprayed with nonstick cooking spray, on medium-high. Alternatively, heat oven to 450 degrees and spray a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray

Place bread slices in skillet or griddle, or on cookie sheet and cook until both sides of bread are golden brown. About 3 minutes each side.

Top with confectioner's sugar and fresh fruit or maple syrup.
