Ingredients
- 4 thin slices whole-grain bread
- 2 large eggs (alternative: 1/2 cup egg substitute )
- 1/4 cup skim milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons reduced-fat cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons apricot preserves
- Cooking spray
- 2 teaspoons powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup warm maple syrup
Directions
- Preheat oven to 300°F.
- In a bowl or baking dish large enough for flat bread, beat eggs with milk and vanilla.
- Make 2 sandwiches with the cream cheese and preserves.
- Put sandwiches in egg/milk/vanilla mixture, carefully turning so both sides absorb the liquid.
- Lightly coat a nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray and heat to medium hot.
- Cook sandwiches until golden, turning once, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Place on cookie sheet in oven to finish heating until ready to serve.
- Dust lightly with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup.
