Recipe Introduction


With a nutritious surprise filling, this low-fat French toast is sure to please children.


List of Ingredients




1 each banana, ripe, peeled
2 teaspoon frozen orange-juice concentrate
4 piece cinnamon-raisin bread
2 each large egg white
1/4 cup skim milk
1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt, or low-fat yogurt
1 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup, or honey
1 teaspoon butter


Recipe



1 In a small, shallow bowl, mash banana coarsely with a fork. Stir in orange-juice concentrate. Spread the banana mixture over half the slices of bread and top with the remaining bread slices, forming 2 sandwiches. In a pie plate, whisk together egg whites and milk; add sandwiches and soak for about 20 seconds. Turn sandwiches over and soak for 20 seconds longer.
2 In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt and maple syrup or honey. Set aside. In a nonstick skillet, melt half the butter over low heat. Tilt the pan to swirl the butter around the skillet. With a metal spatula, place the sandwiches in the pan, and cook until the underside is browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Lift the sandwiches and add the remaining butter. Turn over and cook for 5 to 7 minutes longer, or until browned. Serve with sweetened yogurt
