Lonnie Spin knew that her experiment of French toast with peanut butter and yogurt was one ingredient shy of a culinary breakthrough. I kept saying, 'You know what this needs - it needs apple.' Sure enough, apples, grown by her uncle and thinly sliced, turned the dish into a family hit. Ingredients:
1 cup low-fat or nonfat milk |
4 large eggs |
2 teaspoons firmly packed brown sugar |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon vanilla |
1 granny smith apple (about 1/2 lb.) |
about 1 tablespoon lemon juice |
about 2 tablespoons butter or margarine |
12 slices egg or white bread (about 1 lb. total) |
2/3 cup maple syrup |
1/2 cup vanilla-flavor nonfat yogurt |
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter |
1/2 cup granola |
Directions:
1. In a shallow pan such as a 8- or 9-inch pie pan, whisk to blend milk, eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla.
2. Rinse apple, core, and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices. In a small bowl, mix apple slices with lemon juice.
3. In a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Dip 1 bread slice at a time in milk mixture, turn over, and transfer to frying pan without crowding. Cook each batch, turning to brown both sides, about 6 minutes total. As done, set in a single layer on a 14- by 17-inch baking sheet and keep warm in a 200° oven. Add remaining butter to frying pan as needed to cook successive batches.
4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix 1/3 cup maple syrup with yogurt.
5. Also, in a 1-cup glass measure, mix remaining 1/3 cup maple syrup and peanut butter. Heat in a microwave oven at full power (100%) until warm, about 30 seconds, stirring once or twice.
6. Place 2 slices of French toast on each plate. Drain apple slices and lay fruit equally onto toast; sprinkle with granola. Spoon maple-yogurt and peanut butter sauces equally onto portions.
