Yogurt French toast
Protein-packed Greek yogurt not only makes a nutritious snack, but its thick and creamy texture is ideal for cooking and baking. Nutrition expert Sophie Pachella, creator of Sophie Yogurt, a new line of Greek yogurt that contains no added sugar, often substitutes yogurt in her recipes. This one uses a combination of egg whites, yogurt and evaporated milk to create a decadent batter for French toast that’s low in fat and calories.

Ingredients
- 6 slices multigrain bread
- 1/2 cup Greek style yogurt, vanilla flavored
- 1/4 cup evaporated skim milk
- 4 egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Preparation
Step 1
1. Beat egg whites, yogurt, evaporated milk, salt, nutmeg, and vanilla in a mixing bowl.
2. Soak each slice of bread in egg mix, coating both sides well, and let sit for 20 minutes.
3. Heat a skillet or griddle over high heat and spray lightly with nonstick spray.
4. Cook each slice of soaked toast until golden brown (reduce heat while the toast is cooking to avoid having charred toast on the outside and raw egg on the inside).
5. Serve warm and top with vanilla yogurt and fresh berries or pure maple syrup.
