Time 5m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 slice bread (any day-old)
1 egg, well beaten
cinnamon
artificial sweetener
Pam cooking spray

Steps:

Cut a piece of tin foil large enough to accommodate the bread and spray with Pam.
In a bowl, soak bread in the well beaten egg, turning the bread at least once.
Place bread on tin foil and broil.
You can flip it over, careful not to burn yourself, but it is not necessary. Watch closely, so it doesn't burn. It is done when it is moderately browned, 2-4 minutes.
Sprinkle top with cinnamon and/or mixture of cinnamon and artificial sweetener (one envelope is more than enough).
Suggestion: You can place multiple slices on a larger piece of foil that you have placed on a cookie sheet or broiler pan, for ease of removing. But each slice is one serving.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1/2 c fat-free cream cheese
2 Tbsp strawberry preserves
8 1"-slices french bread
2 egg whites
1 egg, beaten
3/4 c gat-free milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 c low-sugar strawberry preserves

Steps:

1. In bowl, mix together cream cheese and 2 tbsp preserves. Using a knife, make a pocket in each bread slice, but don't cut all the way through.
2. Fill each pocket w/ 1 tbsp cream cheese mix. In another bowl, combine egg whites, egg, milk, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.
3. Spray a lg skillet w/ cooking spray. Place over medium heat. Dip bread slices into egg mix, coating both sides. Place bread in skillet. Cook about 3-4 min, turning once until golden brown. In microwaveable bowl, microwave 1/2 cup preserves until melted. Spoon preserves over french toast.

Tips:

Use stale bread: Stale bread absorbs the egg mixture better and results in a thicker, more flavorful French toast.
Slice the bread evenly: This ensures that the French toast cooks evenly.
Whisk the egg mixture thoroughly: This helps to create a smooth, creamy custard that coats the bread evenly.
Don't overcrowd the pan: Cooking the French toast in batches prevents it from becoming soggy.
Cook the French toast over medium heat: This allows the toast to cook through without burning.
Serve the French toast immediately: French toast is best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the pan.
