In this nutritious twist on classic French toast, soft tofu takes the place of the usual eggs in the cinnamon-spiced batter; the whole-grain bread is browned in a skillet and baked to finish.

Ingredients

8 oz. soft tofu, drained and patted dry
1 c. skim milk
1/4 c. honey
2 tsp. honey
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. Coarse salt
2 tsp. unsalted butter
4 slice Whole-Grain Bread
Fresh fruit, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Put tofu, milk, 2 teaspoons honey, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt into a food processor; process until smooth. Transfer batter to a shallow baking dish large enough to hold 2 bread slices in a single layer.
Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Soak 2 bread slices in batter, flipping once, about 30 seconds per side; lift slices from batter, letting excess drip back into dish. Transfer to skillet, and cook until bottom is browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, and transfer skillet to oven. Bake until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer French toast to a plate; tent with foil to keep warm. Repeat process with remaining butter, bread, and batter.
Divide French toast among 4 plates; drizzle each with 1 tablespoon honey. Serve immediately, garnished with fruit.
