Makes: 4 breakfast portions
Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 large egg white
  • ½ cup 2% milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 8 slices “light” bread (see tip)
Directions
  1. In a wide mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg white, milk, butter, sugar, honey, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt.
  2. Spray a large griddle or nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray, and place over medium heat.
  3. Working in batches of as many pieces of French Toast as you can fit on the griddle, dip each bread slice into the egg mixture to coat both sides before placing on the hot griddle.
  4. Cook each piece until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side.
  5. Serve garnished with fresh berries (about 25 calories per ¼ cup) or topped with pure maple syrup (50 calories per tablespoon).
Perfect Portion French Toast

HELPFUL TIP: Light bread is sold in loaves in the normal bread aisle. It usually contains only 45 calories per slice and far more fiber than ordinary white bread.
