The basic gist is that you puree something like banana, squash, sweet potato, carrot, pumpkin, etc. and just mix it in with your eggs when you dredge the bread. I used pumpkin because I had a can laying around from Thanksgiving. I made this for myself and Caroline and halved the recipe, which yielded 3 slices total. This is a great way to sneak in something healthy with stuff you already like, which benefits everyone!
4 large eggs
2 TBSP healthy puree of your choice
1/4 tsp cinnamon
4 slices whole wheat bread
nonstick spray
2 tsp margarine
maple syrup and powdered sugar (optional)
Whisk the eggs, puree and cinnamon together in a bowl. Add the bread turn them to soak up the mix, no longer than 30 seconds.
Coat a nonstick pan or griddle with the cooking spray, once it's hot add the margarine until it's sizzling (she recommends adding flaxseed too but we did not have that on hand-i bet wheat germ would work as well). Cook until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes. Serve with syrup and sugar if desired. I also cut up some fresh fruit for the topping.
