Ingredients:

1 egg

¼ cup milk

1/8 cup seasonal favorite fruits

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

a dash of vanilla extract

1 tablespoon of white sugar

3 slices of wheat bread

 

Direction:

• Mix milk, egg, sugar, vanilla extract and cinnamon in a bowl.
• Dip bread slices one by one in this mixture till mixture is absorbed.
• Cook these bread slices in a greased griddle over medium heat till golden on both sides. Serve immediately.

Chef’s Tip to make a Lite version:

To make this recipe more healthful, add 2 egg yolks instead of 1 whole egg.

Light bread – Look for bread with about 45 calories and 2 g fiber per slice — white, wheat… whatever you like best.

Nonstick spray – Mist it over your skillet to keep your stuff from sticking. You don’t need to use much.
