Sunday Morning Breakfast: French Toast


French Toast is a simple breakfast to reduce the fat in, and still enjoy all the flavor. This is one of the few times I don't mind egg substitute, in some dishes egg substitute can have a rubbery texture and in this case you don't even notice it.

Reduced Fat French Toast
2 sl of bread per person cut in half corner to corner (it fits in the round pans better, and makes it look like more on the plate) now here's the trick.. its all about the bread you use.
Some suggestions:
Sarah Lee has some great breads out there that are full of flavor, Cinnamon Swirl, Brown Sugar Cinnamon, Blueberry Crumble, and etc..
Orowheat also has some great whole grain breads as well like Oatnut (one of my favorite everyday breads).
This morning I had Sarah Lee Brown Sugar Cinnamon, the breads from Sarah Lee Freeze well, I am not big on freezing bread as I think it can make it taste soggy and flat. However the flavored breakfast breads freeze up well, so if your a small family you can freeze some for another day.

Mix in pie plate or shallow dish:
1/2 C Egg Substitute such as Egg Beaters. (1/2 C is one of the little single serving cups of Egg Beaters, these also freeze well.)
1 t of Cinnamon Sugar per person
1 t of Vanilla

Spray Non-Stick Skillet with Crisco Butter Flavor Spray or other...

Coat each half slice of bread with egg mixture and cook in medium temperature skillet until browned then flip and brown on other side.

4 Half Slices per person, 2 T of Cool Whip Lite, and Syrup, we also serve ours with 1/2 a banana sliced on the side. My husband also commented that Honey works well if you don't like Syrup.
