This French toast recipe cuts back on fat by using only 1 whole egg and 2 egg whites.

Ingredients:

  • 1 egg
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • dash nutmeg
  • 8 slices French bread, sliced on diagonal

Preparation:

In a shallow bowl, whisk egg and egg white until foamy. Whisk in milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Have warming drawer heated or heat oven to 200°.
Heat butter in heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Dip 4 slices of bread in the egg mixture, turning to coat thoroughly. Let excess drip back into bowl.

Place coated bread slices in hot skillet. Cook, turning, until both sides are nicely browned, about 2 minutes each side.

Transfer to a warm plate and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining bread and egg mixture. To serve, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, if desired. Serve with maple syrup.

"If you like French Toast a little sweet to accentuate the cinnamon, use your choice of sweetner (2 packets) to taste. A dash of ground cloves complemented this excellent recipe, and created a ""sweet"" rollercoaster ride for by buds, taste that is. I made the whole dish in 20 minutes. Fast and fanastic with maple syrup and spa."
