French Toast
Ingredients
4 small or 2 large slices of sourdough bread
1 egg
3 tbsp. egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp ground cinnamon
Toppings:
Fresh fruit (strawberries or blueberries)
Whipping Cream
Sugar- free maple syrup
Cooking Instructions:
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 whole egg with 3 tablespoons of egg whites. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Whisk these ingredients together until fully blended into a smooth mixture.
Prep the Bread:
If you're using 2 large slices of sourdough bread, slice them in half to make them easier to soak and cook. For small slices, use them as is.
Soak the Bread:
Immerse each slice of sourdough bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. Allow the bread to soak for a few seconds on each side to absorb the flavors fully.
Cook the French Toast:
Heat a non-stick skillet or pan over medium/high heat. Once hot, place the egg-coated bread slices into the pan.
Cook each slice for 1-2 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until each side is golden brown and the toast is cooked through.
Add Toppings and Serve:
Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate. Top with fresh strawberries or blueberries, a dollop of whipping cream, and a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup to your liking.
Serve warm and enjoy the delightful combination of creamy, fruity, and cinnamon flavors with the comforting texture of sourdough French toast.
