Plating 2 1/2 slices with 1/4 cup sugar free table syrup, this recipe becomes roughly equivalent in calories to Jenny Craig's French Toast, including their syrup, and makes 3 servings with half a slice leftover. It's perfect for planning on one serving in the morning, and saving two more servings for later in the week or for the freezer.
This recipe is for people who can do without the berries in Jenny Craigs' version. I use allspice instead of the cinamon as in Jenny Craig's version, but you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon cinamon for 1/2 teaspoon of allspice in the full recipe and the calories will be the same.
This recipe also highlights a softer chewing bread for those like me who prefer it. French Toast is tradionally made with stale bread, so don't worry if yours has gone that way. I can't however gaurantee your safety using moldy bread. Moldy is not the same thing as stale. LOL
If you use Spring Tree Low Calorie Sugar Free table syrup like it states in the recipe, one serving of syrup is only 30 calories per 1/4 cup, leaving 5 calories leftover for 1/2 teaspoon of powdered sugar. Doing it exactly this way will bring it to 275 calories, same as the Jenny Craig version. It's fine to use Log Cabin table syrup if you prefer; their low calorie sugar free version is 35 calories per 1/4 cup. You can use real maple syrup but to get it down to 35 calories you'd have to restrict yourself to 2 teaspoons.

These are adapted from a recipe I use often - they are lower in fat and calories than traditional crepes. You can make them and freeze the leftovers (between sheets of waxed paper), and then microwave them for quick yumminess!
Why have all the extra calories when this tastes just as good! Omit the crust for even less calories. (Made with a large muffin pan)
My family loves Quiche Lorraine but the traditional dish is very high in fat and calories. I came up with this recipe in an attempt to create a healthier version. This still has a lot of calories.
Also called socca. They are a popular street food from south France. As with crepes, griddling the perfect socca takes some experimentation. The key is to be sure they are completely set before flipping them. If you like a denser thicker socca, use more batter and finish them in a 400 degree over to cook them completely through.
This recipe is perfect for breakfast. It is high in protein, so leaves you satiated. But it is also low in carbs. I love to serve with broccoli to increase the fibre content of this meal.
