French Toast Grilled Cheese
Get ready to be thoroughly satisfied by this scrumptious and special enjoy-at-home lunch.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten (or 1 whole egg + 2 egg whites) with a pinch of salt and pepper
- 2 slices whole-grain bread, any type
- 2 to 4 tomato slices
- 1 ounce reduced-fat cheddar cheese, or any preferred cheese
- Optional: thinly sliced apple
Instructions
- Liberally coat a 10-inch skillet with oil spray and warm over medium heat. Add the eggs, tilting the skillet to evenly distribute them over the bottom of the hot pan.
- One at a time, dip each slice of whole-grain bread into the uncooked egg, slightly coating one side of each slice. Then, place the un-dipped sides flat on the pan (Line them up so the bread bottoms are touching; this will position them correctly for when you later close the sandwich). Let the eggs cook and firm a bit, about 30 seconds.
- Using a wide spatula, carefully flip the entire thing over (eggs and two slices of bread). Allow the eggs to cook for another 15 to 20 seconds. Then, using the spatula, fold the excess egg over the two slices of bread.
- On one slice of bread, add a couple of tomato slices, 1 to 2 slices reduced-fat cheddar cheese (~1 ounce), and optional sliced apple (we love it with the apple in my house). Then, flip the slice of bread without toppings over the bread with the toppings to form a sandwich. Allow the cheese to melt and transfer to a serving plate. Slice in half and dig in!
