Name: Almond Ciabatta French Toast
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 large egg; 2 large egg whites; 1/8 teaspoon salt; 3 tablespoons sugar; 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract; 1/4 teaspoon almond extract; 1 1/4 cups 1% low-fat milk; 1/4 cup whole milk; 8 (1-inch) slices round ciabatta; Cooking spray; 1 cup sliced almonds

1
Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-low heat.
2
Whisk together first 6 ingredients (through almond extract) in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in both types of milk. Pour mixture into a shallow baking dish. Working in batches, if necessary, place bread in dish and let soak 3 minutes on each side.
3
Coat a griddle or skillet with cooking spray. For each slice of the bread, place 2 tablespoons almonds in a single (but fairly densely packed) layer on the hot griddle, forming an area the size and shape of a bread slice. Press 1 side of the bread into the almonds, and cook 4 minutes or until golden brown. (You will probably need to repeat this process in 2 batches.) Flip the bread over, and cook 3-4 minutes or until speckled golden brown. Serve immediately.
