French Toast(Low Sodium)
A low sodium French toast featuring egg substitute, vanilla, and cinnamon, perfect for a light breakfast or brunch with a hint of sweetness and warm spice.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix egg substitute, skim milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Dip bread slices in the egg mixture to coat evenly.
- Melt margarine in a skillet over medium heat.
- Lightly brown the coated bread slices in the skillet until golden.
- Serve with margarine and syrup or jelly if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider substituting almond milk for skim milk or adding a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon. If you prefer a sweeter toast, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup before serving can enhance the taste. Ensure the bread is adequately coated by letting it soak in the egg mixture for a few seconds. Day old bread helps achieve the best texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the French toast with a side of fresh fruit, such as berries or sliced bananas, for a refreshing balance. It pairs beautifully with low sodium syrup or jelly for added sweetness. For a complete breakfast, consider serving alongside scrambled eggs or turkey bacon. You might also enjoy it with a dollop of Spinach 'N Cream Cheese for a savory twist.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover French toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a toaster or skillet over medium heat until warmed through. Alternatively, you can warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes for a crispy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular eggs instead of egg substitute?
Yes, you can use regular eggs if you're not concerned about cholesterol. Typically, one egg replaces the no cholesterol egg substitute. Just beat the egg before mixing it with the milk and other ingredients.
What type of bread works best for French toast?
Sturdy breads like brioche, challah, or whole grain are ideal, but feel free to use any day-old bread you have. Using day-old bread helps absorb the egg mixture without becoming too soggy, leading to a better texture.
Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
Absolutely! Simply replace the skim milk with a dairy-free alternative, such as almond or oat milk. Ensure that the margarine you use is also dairy-free to keep the recipe fully dairy-free.
