Instructions
French Toast Instructions:
  1. My formula is - 1 egg per each slice of bread. This way it is very easy to determine how to increase or decrease the recipe. 1/2 cup egg substitute.

  2. In 9- x 9-inch baking pan or dish, combine the eggs, vanilla extract, and cinnamon; beat with a fork until well mixed.

  3. Layer the bread slices into the egg mixture and let soak about 5 minutes or until most of egg mixture is absorbed, turning once.

  6. On a heavy skillet (I like to use my cast-iron griddle) with the non-fat vegetable cooking spray, place prepared bread in a single layer and cook until the bread is golden brown and crusted on the bottom, about 2 minutes.  Turn with bread and cook until the second side is golden, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.  NOTE: I like to use low heat to cook my French toast.

Recipe Notes

* I like to use breads with multi-grains, raisins, and/or nuts in them.  It makes the French Toast more nutritional and very tasty.  Fresh bread will absorb batter more quickly than stale bread.  In other words, you can use any type of bread you choose.

** Non-sugar jam or jelly may be substituted.  I personally like a little sugar in my jams and jellies.  Your choice.
