Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 1 cup egg beaters
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Bread
- 2 (4-count) packages mini naan bread
Instructions
- Prepare the soaking mixture: In a bowl, combine the egg beaters, low-fat milk, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly to blend all ingredients evenly.
- Soak the naan bread: Place the mini naan bread slices in a single layer in a shallow dish or baking pan. Pour the egg mixture over the naan, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate to soak for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the bread to absorb the mixture.
- Preheat the skillet: Grease a nonstick skillet lightly and heat it over medium heat until it is hot but not smoking.
- Cook the French toast: Remove the soaked naan bread pieces from the mixture, letting excess drip off. Place them in the hot skillet in a single layer and cook for about 3 minutes until the underside is golden brown and slightly crisp. Flip each piece and cook for an additional 3 minutes on the other side until browned and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from skillet and serve warm. Optionally, top with syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar for added flavor.
Notes
- Soaking the naan overnight ensures maximum flavor absorption and a custardy texture inside.
- Use egg beaters and low-fat milk to reduce cholesterol and fat content.
- Mini naan bread is perfect for bite-sized portions but can be substituted with regular naan for larger servings.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning while allowing thorough cooking.
- Serve with fresh berries, maple syrup, or honey for a delicious breakfast experience.
