Going to make my entry tonight instead of in the am. We'll be running around like maniacs and I probably won't have time. Not a great day for sticking on the plan. Breakfast was good. Did that Greek frittata thing again. On the road food isn't great. I did my best though and we did go for a walk tonight after foraging at Taco Bell. They do have some decent options by the way.
But back to my main topic. Here's a stuffed French toast that is really yummy. I've made it quite a few times and even my MIL, who will tell you she's not crazy about new stuff, liked it so there ya go.
It was a WW recipe, but I've made my own modifications to it and I think it's better. I know I don't have amounts listed by honestly, just eyeball it. You can't mess this up. Enjoy!
What you need:
raisin bread (2 per serving)
egg substitute
vanilla
soy milk (watch the sugar on some brands)
bananas
lower fat cream cheese
Benecol spread
maple syrup
Mix the egg substitute, a dash of vanilla, and soy milk in a bowl and whip together
spread some cream cheese on one side of the bread and top with sliced bananas. Heat skillet on medium heat and add a tablespoon of Benecol. Dip the bread in the egg/milk mixture, it's OK if you get some on the banans, and place in the skillet. While that's cooking, dip one side of the remaining slice of bread and place on top of the bananas. Brown both sides to your liking. Plate and slice diagonnally, topping with a little warmed maple syrup.
I like to cook these pretty slow, over a medium heat, so the bananas are nice and warm and the cheese is a little melty.
I tend to view recipes as suggestions which is why I modified the original so much. This is a filling breakfast, takes about 10 minutes to prepare and cook too so if you're in a hurry, it's a good option.
