I like this recipe because you don’t have to stand over the stove frying up slices one at a time… and it’s low fat too!

Prep and cook time: About 35 minutes

Makes: 4 servings

• 3 large eggs
• ¾ cup low-fat milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• pinch of salt
• Cooking oil spray
• 8 slices brioche, sourdough or challah bread, about 1 inch thick (8 to 12 oz. total)
• Powdered sugar
• Maple syrup

Whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl.

Place bread in a shallow baking dish large enough to hold bread slices in a single layer.  Pour the egg mixture over bread.  Soak for 10 minutes.  Turn slices over.  Soak 10 minutes more.

Mist a 10 x 15″ Nonstick pan with cooking oil spray.  Place slices slightly apart in a single layer in baking pan.

Bake in a 500° oven until toast is golden on bottom, about 5 minutes.  With a wide spatula, turn slices over and bake until other side is browned, about 3 to 4 minutes longer.  Transfer hot French toast to plates.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup.
