Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large egg whites
1 large egg
3/4 cup low-fat (1-percent) milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons butter or trans-fat-free margarine
8 slices firm whole-wheat bread

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.

I'm not usually a fan of french toast, but this recipe changed my mind. The bread was perfectly cooked and the egg mixture was rich and flavorful. I especially liked the addition of the cinnamon and nutmeg. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover bread. I used a loaf of whole wheat bread that was a few days old, and it turned out perfectly. The french toast was light and fluffy, and the egg mixture was well-seasoned. I served it with a side of fru

I've tried many french toast recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The key is to use good quality bread and eggs, and to cook it low and slow so that the bread has time to soak up all of the egg mixture. I also like to add a little
