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.

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, resulting in a more evenly cooked and flavorful French toast.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cooking too many slices of French toast at once will cause them to steam rather than fry, resulting in a soggy texture.
- Use a non-stick pan: A non-stick pan will help prevent the French toast from sticking and will make it easier to flip.
- Cook French toast over medium heat: Cooking French toast over high heat will cause it to burn on the outside before it is cooked through on the inside.
- Flip French toast only once: Flipping French toast too often will break it up and make it difficult to cook evenly.
- Serve French toast immediately: French toast is best served hot and fresh out of the pan.
Conclusion:
French toast is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With these tips, you can make a delicious and healthy French toast that the whole family will enjoy.
