Grilled Cheese Apple French Toast
1 BLOG 015
Here was my exact thought process for lunch on Monday:  “I really should use up this bread… I want some egg whites… What else goes with eggs? Cheese! What goes well with cheese…? Apples!! “

And now I present, Grilled Cheese Apple French Toast

Ingredients for One:
2 slices of whole wheat bread, slightly toasted
1/2 cup egg whites whisked with a splash of milk ( 1-2 Tb)
1/4 cup shredded cheddar ( I used a reduced fat type)
1/4 of apple sliced thin ( I used a Golden Delicious for a crispy sweet texture)

Directions:
Heat nonstick skillet. Mix egg whites and milk for batter. Dip toast slices in batter, lay into pan. Turn when you smell the bottom is done ( that is how I do it…). Allow to cook for 1 minute before adding cheese and apple slices. Make it into a sandwich!

I had the rest of the apple sprinkled with cinnamon on the side for lunch today!

Let me tell you, I thought this tasted awesome! Out of all the french toast creations I have done ( pumpkin french toast, monte cristo, french toast marmalade, the list goes on) I think this ranks up near the very top! However, every time I make a french toast creation, I think it seems better than the previous!

1 Sandwich provides approximately 230 kcal, 23g Protein, 10 g Fat

Dinner:
Jeff made me dinner because I had so much to study, isn’t that sweet?!? He is sweet. He made an AWESOME meal as well- He put fresh organic tomatoes, fresh green beans, and sliced red potatoes into foil with seasoning, vinegar and oil and onto the grill. He also grilled chicken breasts with hot sauce.

( I didn’t quite finish all of that!!!)
It was perfect because while he cooked I managed to get through all of the material I brought home after a long day of studying on campus, the gym and class!

I am hoping to get in a yoga class tomorrow to help de-stress-ify before my final exam and interview!

Mind:
Studied… studied and then… studied! Wish Me luck on Exam #3!

Soul:

I love productivity but I felt really balanced today! I had a great workout but my day was also filled with tons of studying and even a little more wedding info details!

I love that Jeff made dinner because it really helped me get more done too!

Oh and I almost forgot again, Breakfast was my usual favorite…

WOW – that french toast looks fantastic!! I was going to make pancakes for dinner tonight BUT just realized I have bread and eggs that need to be used and a BOAT load of granny smith apples from our vacation that I may try this instead.. the only difference I’ll be using part skim mozzarella.. YUMMY!! I cannot wait to get home, take the pup for a walk around Lake Lynn and then rush home to make this.. Thanks!
