Marmalade French Toast with Lite Cream Cheese
"Breakfast or dinner this recipe is just right. The original recipe was in Taste of Home by Danielle Loring. I have down sized and modified the recipe slightly. If you wish serve with some maple syrup but it really doesn't need it. Quite rich but very tasty. I used 2 large slices of sourdough and one egg was plenty"

- Choose a sugarless marmalade to keep the recipe low in sugar.
- Substitute whole wheat bread for the sourdough bread. This substitution provides more fiber and nutrients than white bread, making it a healthier choice.
