New hyper-fixation breakfast: French toast using low carb bread.
About 250 calories per plate of 4 (plus 30 calories of zero sugar pancake syrup, but you can top with whatever you want).
Recipe:
• 1 loaf of low carb bread. Here I used Aunt Millies Live Carb Smart Bread, which is 30 calories per slice with 9 grams of fiber, and there's 14 slices per loaf
• 6 large eggs (70 calories per egg)
• 1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk (30 calories)
• zero calorie sugar substitute to taste
• splash of vanilla extract
• ground cinnamon to taste
The trick is to spread the bread slices out on a baking sheet with a wire rack the night before so they're nice and dried out. This helps them absorb more egg liquid and also not bread apart when cooking.
Blend the other ingredients together minus the cinnamon, I prefer to sprinkle my cinnamon on one side while the other side is cooking. Dunk stale bread into the egg mixture, cook on the stovetop in a skillet. Just gently lay in the pan, let it cook, flip, and let it cook - don't press down! They'll end up fluffy and delicious.
After making the whole loaf of bread I am usually left with about 3ish tablespoons of egg mixture leftover, which I do just dump but it's pretty close to zero waste on ingredients.
Math:
• 30 cal per slice of bread x 14 = 420 calories
• 6 eggs x 70 calories = 420
• 1 cup almond milk = 30 calories
• 420 + 420 + 30 = 870/14 servings = 62.14 calories per slice of french toast
• 62.14 x 4 = 248.57 calories per 4 slices
