This is such lovely, upscale french toast it's great for company or Christmas, Thanksgiving or Easter breakfast or brunch! And it's another of my Weight Watchers favourites! Ingredients:
1/3 cup dried cherries |
1 tbsp. golden rum |
8 slices challah or other egg bread |
1 tbsp. chopped almonds |
1 large egg |
2 egg whites |
1/4 cup low fat buttermilk |
1 tsp. confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the cherries and rum. Let the mixture soak for 10 minutes.
2. Place a heaavy-gauge nonsdtick baking sheet in the oven and preheat the oven to 400 F. Lay 4 slices of the bread on a large plate. Mix the almonds with the cherries and rum, then scatter 2 tbsp. of the mixture over each slice. Top each with a second slice of bread.
3. In a small bowl, beat the egg with the egg whites and buttermilk. Pour over the stuffed toast and turn the toast over to coat evenly. Let stand 10 minutes, then press the edges down to seal.
4. Spray the heated baking sheet with nonstick spray. Transfer the stuffed toast to the baking sheet and bake 10 minutes, then turn the toast over and bake until well browned and bubbling, 6 to 7 minutes longer. Dust with confections' sugar before serving.
