Healthier French Toast Recipes

HEALTHY FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• In a pie plate, beat the egg whites, egg, milk, salt and vanilla with a whisk until blended. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, melt 1 teaspoon butter or trans-fat-free margarine on medium heat.
• Dip the bread slices, one at a time, in the egg mixture, pressing the bread lightly to coat both sides well. Place 3 or 4 slices in the skillet, and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until lightly browned on the second side, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Transfer the French toast to a cookie sheet; keep warm in the oven. Repeat with remaining butter or margarine, bread slices and egg mixture.

APPLE PIE FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Remove the skin from the Granny Smith apple. Chop the apple into small, thin pieces. Place the apples in a small bowl and squeeze some lemon juice over them to keep them from browning. In a small pan add the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!® Original Soft Spread, brown sugar, Saigon cinnamon and Allspice. Set the pan over medium-high heat and stir. Once the spread has melted add in the apple pieces. Continue to cook over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Put all of the Cinnamon Spread ingredients in a small mixing bowl and mix until well combined.
• Lightly coat both sides of the bread with the Cinnamon Spread, then place in a large pan.
• Toast bread in the pan over medium heat, turning it over every 1-2 minutes until both sides are evenly toasted.
• When toasted, remove the bread from the pan and set on a plate. Top with the apple mixture.
• Optional - Top with chopped walnuts, raisins and/or whipped cream.

HEALTHY OVERNIGHT FRENCH TOAST BAKE

Steps:

• For the French toast: Coat a 9- by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange the bread slices on the diagonal in 3 rows in the dish, slightly overlapping the slices. Whisk together the evaporated milk, milk, vanilla and almond extracts, cinnamon, salt and eggs until well combined. Pour the egg mixture over the bread slices, taking care to evenly coat the bread. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the foil from the baking dish and spoon any remaining egg mixture over the top of the bread pieces to assure they are evenly moistened.
• For the topping: Sprinkle the pecans evenly over the bread. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup and the cinnamon. Bake until golden, about 40 minutes. Drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup maple syrup and serve.
