- Number of Servings: 2
Ingredients
FRENCH TOAST4 slices wheat bread1 large egg1 large egg white2 Tbsp. eggnog3 Tbsp. 2% milk (nonfat will lower the calories a little)1 tsp. sugarcinnamon, to tastenutmeg, to taste4 Tbsp. chopped pecansAPPLE TOPPING2 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced2 tsp. cornstarch1 Tbsp. sugar1/2 tsp. cinnamon2 Tbsp. orange juice2 Tbsp. water, more as necessary
makes 2 servings of: 2 slices of French Toast topped with half of the apple topping
APPLE TOPPING:
In a small saucepan, toss the apples with cornstarch, sugar and cinnamon. Mix in 2 Tbsp. of orange juice and 2 Tbsp. of water. Cook over medium heat until it boils and thickens. If necessary, add more water to get a better consistency. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the French Toast.
FRENCH TOAST:
Mix together the egg, egg white, eggnog, milk, 1 tsp. sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg until thoroughly blended.
Heat up a skillet on medium-high; spray lightly with cooking spray (like PAM).
Dip one slice of bread in the egg mixture to coat both sides of the slice. Put the coated bread in the skillet, then repeat the process (one slice at a time) with as many slices as will fit into your skillet at one time.
Sprinkle 1 Tbsp. chopped pecans over the top of each slice of coated bread and then gently press them down into the bread (I use my fingers, but the back of a spoon would work).
When the first side is golden-brown,(30 seconds to 1 minute), flip it over and cook the second side until golden-brown.
Remove 2 slices of French Toast to a plate and top with half of the apples; prepare a second plate the same way. :-)
Serve hot.
Delicious!
