Ingredients
- 3/4 cup / 175 ml
- fat-free vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp / 5 ml
- finely grated orange zest
- 4
- Naturegg Omega 3
- 8
- slices, day-old whole-wheat bread, about 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick
- 2 cup / 500 ml
- frozen mixed berries, such as raspberries, strawberries or blueberries, thawed
- 1 1/4 cup / 300 ml
- 1 or 2% milk
- 1/2 tsp / 2 ml
- ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp / 10 ml
- vanilla extract
Directions
Stir the yogurt with the orange zest; set aside.
Pour the eggs into a shallow dish. Coat a large, nonstick skillet with nonstick spray; set over medium heat. Whisk eggs with milk, vanilla and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
Working in batches, soak both sides of the bread in the egg mixture until saturated; transfer to the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until golden. Repeat using remaining bread and egg mixture. (Coat the skillet with nonstick spray between batches as needed.)
Spread the yogurt mixture evenly over 4 pieces of French toast; arrange a layer of berries over the yogurt. Cap with remaining French toast.
Tips
Thaw berries on a paper towel-lined plate to blot any excess fluid.
Using slightly stale bread soaks up more egg and makes better French toast.
Use fresh berries when in season.
Naturegg Omega 3
