CREAMY STRAWBERRY FRENCH TOAST
10 MINS 6 MINS SERVES 4
USE DF ALTERNATIVE FOR CREAM CHEESE USE GF BREAD
French toast for breakfast always feels like such a treat, but our healthy twist means that this recipe is much lighter than you’d expect! We’ve filled these golden toasted sandwiches with sweetened cream cheese and a layer of fresh strawberries, and they’re just as irresistible as they look. Drizzle with maple syrup, grab your cuppa and tuck in.
PER SERVING:
196 KCAL /28G CARBS
100g low-fat cream cheese
4 tsp white granulated sweetener
¼ tsp vanilla extract
4 slices medium-thick white bread (about 36g each)
4 medium strawberries, stalks removed and thinly sliced
2 medium eggs
good pinch of ground cinnamon
low-calorie cooking spray
FOR THE TOP
¼ tsp icing sugar
4 tsp maple syrup
TO ACCOMPANY (optional)
50g extra strawberries per person (+ 21 kcal per serving)
Everyday Light
Place the cream cheese, sweetener and vanilla extract in a small bowl and mix with a spoon until completely blended.
Spread the cream cheese mixture over two slices of bread. Place the sliced strawberries in a single layer over the cream cheese mixture and pop one of the plain slices of bread on top of each, to make two sandwiches.
Crack the eggs onto a large plate and add the cinnamon. Beat with a fork until the eggs and cinnamon are completely mixed.
Dip the sandwiches in the egg on both sides, allowing all the egg to be soaked up into the bread.
While the sandwiches are soaking, spray a large frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat. When the frying pan is hot, carefully transfer the sandwiches to the frying pan using a fish slice. The sandwiches may be fragile after soaking, so lift them carefully.
Fry the sandwiches for 2–3 minutes on each side, using a fish slice to turn them once, until golden brown and a little crisp.
Remove from the frying pan using a fish slice and cut each sandwich in half diagonally, to make a total of four triangles.
Place on a plate, dust with a little icing sugar and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve while hot, either alone or with a few extra strawberries if you like.
TIP: Using a fish slice is the best way to lift the sandwiches in and out of the frying pan as it will support them well. Depending on the size of your frying pan you may need to cook one toasted sandwich at a time.
SWAP THIS: You could swap the strawberries for the same weight of raspberries.
A couple of stacked golden brown roasted sandwiches with thinly sliced strawberries and cream stuffed between the layers. The stacked sandwiches are topped with thinly sliced strawberries and are laced with maple syrup. Icing sugar is drizzled from the top.HASSELBACK TOMATOES
10 MINS VARIABLE (SEE BELOW) SERVES 2
USE VEGETARIAN MOZZARELLA
We’ve sliced these juicy tomatoes hasselback style, before stuffing them with melty mozzarella and fragrant basil, so you get all those Italian-inspired flavours in every bite. Serve as a starter before a tasty pasta dish, or add one on the side of grilled meat or fish. We especially love them with toast or a crunchy green salad for a light, refreshing brunch.
PER SERVING:
172 KCAL /9.8G CARBS
low-calorie cooking spray
2 medium beef tomatoes, stalks removed
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
150g reduced-fat mozzarella, well drained and cut into 10 thin slices
10 fresh large basil leaves, stalks removed
TO ACCOMPANY (optional)
1 slice of wholemeal toast (+ 93 kcal per serving) or 75g mixed salad (+ 15 kcal per serving)
Everyday Light
OVEN METHOD
20 MINS
Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan 160°C/gas mark 4). Grease a small ovenproof dish with low-calorie cooking spray.
Place the tomatoes stalk side down on a chopping board.
Make five deep cuts in each tomato, being careful not to cut right through, then place stalk side down in the greased ovenproof dish.
Gently ease the cuts open, rub the garlic inside each cut and season well with salt and black pepper. Push a slice of mozzarella and a basil leaf into each cut.
Spray with low-calorie cooking spray and place the dish in the oven for about 20 minutes until the tomatoes are tender and the mozzarella is melting.
AIR-FRYER METHOD
15 MINS
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT
Air fryer
Preheat the air fryer to 160°C. Grease a small ovenproof dish with low-calorie cooking spray. If your air fryer isn’t big enough for an ovenproof dish, place a sheet of foil into the bottom of the basket and grease that instead.
Place the tomatoes stalk side down on a chopping board. Make five deep cuts in each tomato, being careful not to cut right through, then place stalk side down in the greased ovenproof dish or on the foil.
Gently ease the cuts open, rub the garlic inside each cut and season well with salt and black pepper. Push a slice of mozzarella and a basil leaf into each cut.
Spray with low-calorie cooking spray and place into the air fryer for 12–15 minutes until the tomatoes are tender and the mozzarella is melting.
TIP: Placing the tomatoes stalk side down in the dish helps to keep them stable.
A couple of tomatoes are thinly sliced without cutting through the bottom. A basil leaf and sliced mozzarella are stuffed into each cut. The toasted wholemeal bread slices are on either side.CREAMY BACON and MUSHROOM PANCAKES
10 MINS 20 MINS SERVES 4
*PLUS 10 MINS RESTING
BEFORE FILLING USE GF FLOUR
Who said pancakes always have to be sweet? If you’re looking for a new breakfast idea, these savoury pancakes will get your morning off to a flipping good start! Nice and quick to make, we’ve loaded them up with bacon and mushrooms cooked in a creamy, garlicky sauce. Whip up a batch for a tasty weekend brunch.
PER SERVING:
282 KCAL /30G CARBS
FOR THE PANCAKES
125g plain flour
¼ tsp salt
1 medium egg, beaten
300ml skimmed milk
low-calorie cooking spray
FOR THE FILLING
low-calorie cooking spray
200g large flat mushrooms, sliced
4 smoked bacon medallions, cut into large dice
½ tsp garlic granules
180g low-fat cream cheese
80g baby spinach leaves
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
10g Parmesan cheese, finely grated
Everyday Light
To make the pancakes, sift the flour and salt into a medium mixing bowl and make a well in the centre. Whisk together the egg and milk in a small bowl. Pour the egg and milk mixture into the well, a little at a time, and beat with a balloon whisk until just smooth.
Cover and place in the fridge to rest for about 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 150°C (fan 130°C/gas mark 2).
Spray a large non-stick frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and spread around the pan using a piece of kitchen paper. Place the frying pan over a medium heat. When the pan is hot, pour in a small ladleful of the batter. Tilt the pan to swirl the batter quickly to coat the bottom of the pan and make a thin pancake.
Cook for about 1 minute until golden on the underside. You can check by gently lifting one edge of the pancake with a palette knife to see if the pancake is golden.
Flip the pancake over gently using a palette knife, or if you’re feeling brave you can toss it! Cook for about a minute on the second side until golden, then transfer to a plate and cover with a square of non-stick baking paper.
Grease the frying pan again and repeat cooking until you’ve made another three pancakes; stacking them up with non-stick baking paper between each one. Cover tightly with kitchen foil and place in the preheated oven to keep warm while you make the filling.
TIP: Rest the pancake batter in the fridge for at least 10 minutes before cooking, as this allows the flour to hydrate, resulting in better pancakes.
On a shallow plate, browned pancakes are folded and stuffed with thinly sliced sauteed mushrooms and smoked bacon. The dish is drizzled with grated cheese.To make the filling, spray the same frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat. Add the mushrooms and fry for 3 minutes. Add the bacon and garlic granules and cook for 4–5 minutes until the bacon is cooked through.
Remove the frying pan from the heat and stir in the cream cheese until completely mixed with the mushrooms and bacon. The heat from the pan will melt the cream cheese.
Lower the heat and return the frying pan to the stove. Add the spinach and stir in until just wilted; this should take about 2–3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Remove the pancakes from the oven. Place a quarter of the hot filling on one half of the first pancake. Fold the pancake over the filling and then fold again – you should now have a triangle-shaped, folded pancake.
Repeat until you have four stuffed pancakes. Place on plates and sprinkle with a little Parmesan cheese. Serve at once.
