LOW-FAT FRENCH TOAST

Serves:  4

2 eggs or ½ cup liquid egg substitute

½ cup skim milk

½ tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. oil

8 slices bread (best French toast will be from sourdough bread that has been allowed to dry out)

 

  • In a shallow bowl, mix 2 eggs, ½ cup milk, and ½ tsp. vanilla with a fork until smooth.
  • Pour 1 tsp. oil into a non stick skillet and heat over medium-high heat.  Use a pastry brush if necessary to coat surface of pan with oil.  Reduce heat to medium.
  • Dip the bread into the egg mixture, and place in skillet.  Brown both sides of bread and top with your choice of sugar-free fruit preserves.

 

NOTE:  FOR A CRUNCHIER FRENCH TOAST, AFTER DIPPING IN EGG MIXTURE, DIP INTO SOME CRUSHED CORN FLAKES.  ALL OTHER DIRECTIONS WOULD BE THE SAME.
