Nutrition For Seniors – Fluffy French Toast

Fluffy French Toast

Makes 2 serving

Assemble this dish ahead, refrigerate, and bake the next morning while the coffee brews. The more texture the bread has, the better the French toast will be. Thick slices of home-made bread, hand-sliced bakery bread, and whole wheat or multi-grain bread are all good choices. Serve with butter, syrup, blueberry sauce, or flavored yogurt to boost the calorie count.

¼ cup milk
2 thick slices bread, cut into quarters
1 tablespoon sugar

2 large eggs
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparing Fluffy French Toast

In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, milk, sugar, and cinnamon and mix well.

Lightly butter a medium baking dish. Arrange the bread quarters in the dish in single layer, overlapping the edges if necessary. Pour the egg mixture over the bread and press down on the bread with a fork so it is completely submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour overnight.

Preheat the over to 375. Back, uncovered, for 20 minutes, or until the bread has absorbed all the liquid and lightly browned on top and puffy. Serve warm, with syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or flavored yogurt. Cover leftovers and refrigerate up to 2 days.
