French Toast That Makes You Say Ooh La La


Like I said previously, Tofu is cheap, a great source of lean protein, and easy to cook with.  Last night’s thin cut tofu gave me a great idea for a French toast that I had to try out immediately.  This is so delicious and the kids will love it to.  It is an easy way to get a high protein breakfast that will last all morning and tastes delicious.


Ingredients
½ pkg of extra firm tofu
2 tbl. Cinnamon sugar
1 egg
1 tbl. Vanilla extract
1/3 c. milk
¾ c. bread crumbs  (I used a French baguette that was on its last day)
1 tbl. Cornstarch
½ c. Flour (Wheat)

Cut up tofu into strips and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.  In a food processor, mix together egg, vanilla, and milk, add to the tofu. Place crumbled mixture into a bowl and slowly add bread crumbs until still and can easily form a ball.  Dust balls in cornstarch/flour mixture, ensure it is fully coated. Heat oil in pan over medium heat.  When heated thoroughly, add French toast balls.  Cook 2-3 minutes on each side till browned.  Finish with dusting powder sugar on top.  These are delicious without syrup.  Try to stay healthy and avoid the unnecessary  sugar.
