French Toast with Almonds Recipe

  • 1 cup slivered almonds
  • 1/2 cup liquid egg substitute
  • 1 cup fat-free milk
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 12 slices SARA LEE® Soft & Smooth™ Whole Grain White Bread
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • confectioners' sugar for dusting (optional)
  1. Place almonds in a small saucepan over low heat. Tossing frequently, toast until lightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together egg substitute, milk, flour, salt, baking powder, and vanilla and almond extracts. Soak bread slices in the mixture until saturated. Place slices in a shallow pan. Refrigerate slices approximately 1 hour.
  3. Heat canola oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. One at a time, press one side of soaked bread slices in the almonds to coat. Fry bread slices on both sides until golden brown. Dust with confectioner's sugar before serving.
