French Toast (for the healthy and the not-so-healthy...)

You can probably tell just by looking that I do NOT wake up to green monsters like Cassie... Though I swear I will try one since you say you truly cannot taste the spinach... Anyway, here is MY breakfast recipe from the morning... I'll give you the healthy version and the not-so-healthy (but super yummy) version.

Healthy Version Ingredients:
(makes 1 serving or 2 small servings)

2 slices whole grain bread

1 egg

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon skim milk

Non-stick cooking spray

sugar free fruit preserves


Not-so-Healthy Modifications:

White bread instead of whole grain

Butter instead of non-stick spray

Syrup instead of preserves


Cooking Instructions:

In either variation, whisk together egg, cinnamon, vanilla, and milk. Dip bread in mixture, coating thoroughly. Heat non-stick spray or butter in skillet. Place dipped bread in skillet, browning each side. Top with syrup or preserves. Enjoy!!!

I usually make one piece of the french toast per person and then use the same pan to make mini omelets (1 egg a piece) to go along with them.

I love french toast and honestly can't tell a big difference when I use healthy bread. If you can stand it- there is sugar free syrup. I have actually gotten to like it better b/c the other was always too sweet for me!

Yeah - I am not a huge fan of syrup to begin with, so using the fruit is actually yummy to me... Matt uses the regular syrup, but will eat the healthy bread so at least I don't have to do it two different ways.
