This sounds REALLY REALLY good, but a little high in points for 1 slice. Wonder if it's because of the margarine? Might have to see if I can doctor this a little (using light bread and low-fat or ff margarine), but sounds like something even the kids would enjoy.:)

This does sound good. Perhaps I'll try it & use French bread for the family & low-cal, low-point bread for me w/ egg subst. I cannot remember the last time I had French toast.

I too was thinking this sounded good but a little high in points. Anyone try it another way? Im thinking I could doctor it up and it wouldnt be so bad....Let us know if you had success in cutting the points and it tasting good too!
