French Toast(Low Cholesterol)
A light, flavorful French toast made with skimmed milk and egg whites, perfect for a health-conscious breakfast with warm spices and optional toppings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Whisk together the light evaporated skimmed milk, egg whites, cinnamon, honey, and a dash of nutmeg until well beaten.
- Soak each slice of homemade wheat bread in the milk mixture on both sides.
- Fry the soaked bread slices in a nonstick pan or griddle until lightly browned on both sides and still moist inside.
- Serve with maple syrup, orange marmalade, or powdered sugar.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, try using almond milk or oat milk instead of evaporated skimmed milk. If you want to enhance the flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract to the egg mixture. For a sweeter touch, consider substituting honey with agave syrup. Remember to use whole grain bread for extra fiber and nutrients. This recipe is a great base for experimenting with flavors, so feel free to add fruit or nuts.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the French toast warm, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with maple syrup for added sweetness. Fresh fruit like berries or bananas make a delightful accompaniment. For a nutritious twist, top with a dollop of Greek yogurt or serve alongside a refreshing fruit salad, such as the Whipped Dream Dressing For Fruit Salad, for a balanced meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover French toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the slices in a toaster or on a griddle over low heat until warmed through. You can also microwave them for about 30 seconds, but be careful not to overdo it, as they can become rubbery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes! To make this French toast recipe vegan, substitute the egg whites with a mixture of flaxseed meal and water, or use commercial egg replacers. Additionally, replace the honey with maple syrup or agave nectar to keep it plant-based.
What can I do if I don't have homemade wheat bread?
If you don't have homemade wheat bread, any whole grain or multigrain bread will work well. You can also use sourdough or rye bread for a different flavor profile. Just ensure the bread is sturdy enough to soak up the milk mixture without falling apart.
How can I make this recipe more filling?
To make the French toast more filling, consider adding toppings like nut butter or sliced avocado. You can also serve it with a side of protein, such as scrambled eggs or turkey bacon, to create a balanced breakfast that keeps you satisfied longer.
