A low carb alternative to French Toast that just happens to taste great
I was out of bread the other day but still I wanted to have French Toast.
Looking around I found some tortillas in the pantry and I cme to a great conclusion: not only was I going to have the French Toast that I wanted, but I could cut out some carbs.
I promised myself I wouldn't go crazy counting calories and carbs and all that as I try to lose weight. I was just going to eat sensibly.
But when the opportunity arose to cut some carbs I jumped on it.
Even if you're not on a diet these are great snacks. They taste just like the French Toast you had as a kid, but they're thinner and crispier.
Keep in mind, however, that the tortillas are not quite as absorbent as thick slices of soft bread so you have to soak them a bit longer in the sweet egg mixture.
The result is a sticky sweet crisp. I'm guessing that it would taste wonderful under a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.
My carnivorous daughter, Amanda, suggested that it would taste great wrapped around some sausage. If you're cooking for a mixed crowd, it might be worth a try to keep the meat-eaters happy.
