Skinny Mom Question: Did the French really invent French toast?
According to history, French toast was actually created by medieval European cooks who needed to use every bit of food they could find to feed their families. They knew day-old bread could be revived when moistened and heated. They also added eggs for additional moisture and protein.

- • 2 tsp sugar-free or light syrup
Instructions
- Heat a skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat.
- Crack egg and egg white into bowl and add sugar and cinnamon. Beat with a fork until yolk and cinnamon are well mixed.
- Dip bread into egg mixture and remove, letting excess mixture fall back into the bowl.
