I got this recipe via and email that I receive through the South Beach Diet website. I made this on Sunday and really enjoyed it! It's pretty rich though, so look out!
FRENCH TOAST (Makes 6 slices)
1 large egg
3/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp skim milk
1 tsp almond extract
2 Tbsp sugar substitute
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
6 slices whole-grain bread
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
WARM BLUEBERRY SYRUP(Makes about 1 cup)
3 cups frozen blueberries, stemmed and defrosted
1/2 cup sugar substitute
3 Tbsp fresh lime juice (juice of 1 lime)
For Toast: Warm a large skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
In a shallow bowl, whisk egg, milk, and almond extract. Add sugar substitute, flour, nutmeg, and salt; whisk until smooth. Add 2 slices bread; let soak 30 seconds per side. Repeat with remaining slices. Add 1 Tbsp oil to skillet. Cook slices about 1 minute, 30 seconds on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining oil. Serve hot, with blueberry sauce.
For Sauce: In medium nonreactive saucepan over medium heat, combine berries and sugar substitute. Bring to a boil; cook 5 to 8 minutes, stirring often. The berries will burst and sauce will thicken. Remove from heat; stir in lime juice. Taste and add more sugar substitute or juice, as desired. Serve warm, divided evenly among French toast, or cover and refrigerate up to 2 days.
