Cinnamon French Toast
4 servings
30 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs (or 1 cup egg substitute)
  • ½ cup reduced-fat milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 8 slices cinnamon-raisin swirl (or Bakery cinnamon) bread
  • ½ cup pecan halves
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ¾ cup maple syrup

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 200°F. Whisk eggs, milk, and vanilla in shallow bowl.
    2. Preheat large, nonstick sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon butter to pan. Dip 4 bread slices, 1 at a time, into egg mixture (letting excess drip off), then place in pan. Cook 2–3 minutes on each side until golden and 160°F. Arrange on baking sheet; place in oven to keep warm. Repeat with 1 tablespoon butter and remaining 4 bread slices.
    3. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter to pan, then stir in pecans. Cook 3 minutes, stirring often, until lightly toasted and aromatic. Increase heat to high; add sugar and cook 2 more minutes, stirring continuously.
    4. Remove pan from heat; stir in syrup. Serve over French toast slices.
